Description

The Miller Valley Monument is a bronze sculpture that depicts a realistic American bald eagle with its wings spread and beak open. The bird stands on top of three beer barrels. In addition to the sculpture, the work recognizes six brewery workers killed in action during World War II on a nearby bronze plaque.[1]

Dedication

The sculpture's dedication took place on November 11, 2010.[2] The ceremony included a performance by the Marquette University ROTC choir, remarks by dignitaries, a 21-gun salute and a flyover by a World War II military plane. Significantly, the brewery suspended production for two hours to facilitate employee participation in the dedication event. Workers who had performed military service were recognized with a gift of a commemorative coin.[1]
