History

[edit]

Rear Admiral William Thompson was the first president and CEO of the Navy Memorial Foundation, which raised the funds to create the Navy Memorial. As a tribute to Thompson's work to bring the memorial to life, sculptor Stanley Bleifeld placed Thompson's initials and last name on the sea bag.[1] The model forThe Lone Sailor was Dan Maloney.[2][3][unreliable source?][4] Maloney modeled in 1984 or 1985 when he was a Petty Officer First Class assigned to the submarineUSSAlabama.[5] TheNavy Times published Maloney's first person account of his selection and collaboration with Bleifeld onThe Lone Sailor andLiberty Hound statues.[6] TheLiberty Hound is located on the Jacksonville, Florida waterfront. There were several earlier designs forThe Lone Sailor but the versions created from those sessions were not approved.[7] After the failed attempts using Navy Ceremonial Honor Guard models, Bleifeld askedNew London Submarine Base for someone more typical.[8] As part of the casting process, the bronze forThe Lone Sailor was mixed with artifacts from eightU.S. Navy ships, provided by theNaval Historical Center.
