‘Tip of the Spear’ to honor combat veterans of the 20th, 21st centuries
SAN ANTONIO – After being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fundraising has resumed for “Tip of the Spear,” a 13-foot memorial topped by a starkly dramatic bronze statue of three wounded soldiers representing combat veterans of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Tony Roman, the Texas chief of staff for the Military Order of the Purple Heart and a driving force behind the memorial, said they are shown holding on to each other because “no matter the war, we are a band of brothers.”
