The 3 meters (10 feet) bronze sculpture entitled "Brothers in Arms" highlights the Filipino-American Friendship Park on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines. The park lies directly behind the Pacific War Memorial. The Filipino resistance movement, along with United States troops, successfully forced Japanese invaders out of the country during World War II.
Inscription: "In these hallowed surroundings where heroes sleep, may their ashes scatter with the wind and live in the hearts of those who were left behind. They died for freedom's right and in heaven's sight theirs was a noble cause." Click here to enlarge.
