Military Times:
A dozen lifesize statues are now in the Gulf of Mexico as part of an underwater dive memorial dedicated to U.S. veterans.
The memorial, known as the “Circle of Heroes” and touted as the first of its kind by its creators, will feature 24 concrete statues of service members in total to represent the Air Force, the Army, the Navy, the Marines and the Coast Guard.
The statues are anchored by 2,000 pound bases 40 feet below the surface about 10 miles off the coast of Dunedin Beach in Florida. They are part of a 100-foot circle facing a pentagon-shaped monument honoring the services with bronze emblems on its five sides.

Let’s see the antifa leftists tear those down. Oh wait, that would be too much like taking a bath.
^ Heh.
It was a little sad watching them sunk into the water.
Why did they do that? Only scuba divers will get to see them…. and hundreds of years from now, some archeologist will think that it was part of some Atlantis-type submerged city. Confusion reigns ….
SHOCKING WASTE OF MONEY
Stop with the memorials already. There are plenty of LIVE vets that need a home, money for college, paying debts, starting a new project or business.
GoFundMe for vets, or better yet, set up some grants at your local American Legion or VFW post.
This statue crap is insulting. I wonder how many homeless or disabled vets will dive down and take a look?—Zeeeero!
