Album Info:
On the front of the tower which houses the chapel is a 30-foot female figure, known as "Columbia", standing on the symbolized prow of a U.S. Navy carrier with a laurel branch in her left hand. Engraved below the figure is the poignant sympathy expressed by Abraham Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby, mother of five sons who died in battle "... THE SOLEMN PRIDE THAT MUST BE YOURS TO HAVE LAID SO COSTLY A SACRIFICE UPON THE ALTAR OF FREEDOM."
