The 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division unveiled its finished monument Wednesday outside brigade headquarters at Fort Lewis.
It's a tribute to the 68 men and women who died in its two Iraq deployments, as well as others who died in training accidents prior to deployments, or who were members of units attached to the brigade while it was in Iraq.
The bronze work is by artist Gareth Curtiss, and is the finished article of the piece unveiled back in October when the brigade returned from its second tour.
