Mothers seem to be a central theme in war memorials and the like. This statue is right in front of our state capitol building. It honors the mothers of the confederate soldiers. It seems like a bit of a controversial monument to me, but I guess that's the point - mothers were innocent, they only birthed the sons that they would later mourn.

Ah... le rôle des femmes... qui ont fait tourner les plantations sans les hommes... qui ont fait tourner les usines sans les hommes... et qui comme tu le dis son mères de tous les fous... Cela dit, c'est un beau monument.
I'm not getting into any discussion about mothers and the Confederacy...
But you've taken a fine photograph of a fine-looking monument.
Simon sez he's got a lot of malls around the country! ;-)
The Mothers take the honor and the blame.
Nice sculpture and picture. MB
I'll skip the discussion about mothers to praise the monument.
