    Hi there! My name is Lisa Miller and I am the founder of the Lorain 365 blog. I wanted to thank you for the link-up regarding the Angel of Victory statue. It's so cool to see another one of these statues in another city. Is yours also missing her palm frond?

    Hi Lisa,

    I an ex Lorain-ite. I grew up seeing Victory Park and the statue in Lorain. I've been South of Pittsburgh for about 13 years now (Canonsburg PA-Home of Bobbie Vinton and Perry Como among other historical things!) with a territory that covers where that statue is, I've passed by it often over the years and when I saw your post, it "tickled" my brain and made me think of this statue.

    To you question, there is no frond on the statue in the Monongahela park, don't know if there was ever suppose to be one or not.

    I wonder if that angel signifies something related to WW I. It's very interesting I lived there all those years, and now I'm here and that statue is a bit of a connection.

    If you are interested in learning more about the angel(s), please check out another Lorain blog: http://thatwoman.wordpress.com/2013/08/25/victory-no-longer-empty-handed-v-for-volunteers/
    Loraine and Dan have really done their homework when it comes to the angel! Plus, there's an interesting comment from someone who claims to be related to the sculptor.
