Mark and Debra Blain, owners of Fireplace Mantels Etc., in Millbury, Mass., told foxnews.com that they created the prototype statue — depicting an American soldier in uniform standing in front of a stone U.S.A and waving American flag — and decided they wanted to give it away.
After watching the film “Taking Chance,” in which Kevin Bacon plays a U.S. Marine bringing a fallen comrade home, the Blains decided they wanted to donate it to an area town that didn’t have the funds on hand to build their own monument.
