who have returned to the Sea of Eternity
The Lone Sailor
The Lone Sailor
statue represents all people who ever served, are serving now or
who are yet to serve in the Navy. The Lone Sailor is a composite
of the U.S. Navy bluejacket, past, present and future. He's
called the Lone Sailor, yet he is hardly ever alone, standing
there on the broad granite plaza which forms the amphitheater of
the Navy Memorial. Visitors to the Memorial are immediately
drawn to him to peer into his far seeing eyes, to admire him or
size him up, to see if he's as tough or as gentle as he seems.
Visitors find that he is all that he seems and probably more.
