Doris Tracy WASP Memorial Project
Artist Joan Hanley Sculpts a monument honoring the life of World War Two Womens Air Force Service PIlot, also, known as WASP's Doris Tracy. Doris Tracy was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for her efforts during WWII. The monument will be located in LA Veta Colorado on the grounds of the Francisco Fort Museum. The Sculpture will not only honor La Veta's hometown hero, Doris Tracy, but also acknowledge and honor all other women whom have served in the Armed Forces. The Sculpture depicts a small girl holding a plane,looking up at Doris in her flight suit representing that Doris is the past and the little girl is the future and that Doris has been an inspiration for others to follow their dreams. Carla Knight was the mold maker in the project and is well known for her work on the Vietnam Womens memorial in washington dc.
