Air Defenders Statue

This statue, Air Defenders, is by Steve Streadbeck and is located on Main Post just inside the Pershing Gate. the 'First to Fire' statue was erected in 1989 to honor all air defenders. The faces of the brave soldiers reflect the intensity of combat and courage, competence and dedication typical of the young men and women who serve the Air Defense Artillery to this day. In 2010 it was relocated to Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
