Facing the Fallen Warrior Monument at Fort Drum's Memorial Park, the Spartan Statue is located on the trail to the right. This statue was originally built to honor the 109 Spartan Soldiers from 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI), who died while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the intent of adding additional names from later rotations. The name of Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti, Medal of Honor recipient, is prominently displayed below the Spartan statue. The statue was officially unveiled in May 2012. Community members attending the inaugural Memorial to Monument Run on Sept. 29 will have a chance to view all the sites at Memorial Park. (Photo by Mike Strasser, Fort Drum Garrison Public Affairs)
