Source: As the creation of Dr. Charles Bressler-Pettis, the monument was built in 1943 with a two-fold purpose: to be a commemorative piece and a draw for local tourism. As a product of World War II, it served as a unifying sculpture to bond together the states after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. At the time of its completion, the monument consisted of 1,500 stones from 48 states and 21 countries.pp. 7, 17, 30 160 characters in the hook
