The Ames Monument, seen Nov. 17, 2006, west of Cheyenne, Wyo., was completed in 1882 at a cost of $65,000. The 60-foot high-granite pyramid built by the Union Pacific stands on the highest elevation of the railroad. (Michael Smith/Wyoming Tribune-Eagle)
The U.S. Navy D-Day Monument, now being created by Alabama sculptor Stephen Spears, will be a 12-foot tall bronze design featuring three Navy seamen. It will be the only memorial to the Navy's contribution to the D-Day invasion, and will be erected at Utah Beach in Normandy, France in 2008. (SHNS photo courtesy Stephen Spears)
