Road Warrior Sculpture
The Road Warrior Sculpture is being created by local sculptor, Wyatt Gragg. Gragg, a local HOG member and Harley rider is designing the sculpture so visitors can “hop” on and take a ride with Bruce. “I am excited to be a part of this venture and have deep respect and gratitude for World War II Veterans,” stated Gragg.
Heilman’s motorcycle is a special “Marine” issue with the Marine insignia on the side that was issued to veterans by the Harley Davidson Corporation.
Today we are currently raising funds to create The Road Warrior Sculpture which is designed by local sculptor, Wyatt Gragg. This sculpture depicts WWII Veteran and National Spokesperson, Dr. Bruce Heilman (1926-2019), on his Marine issue Harley Davidson motorcycle as he has traveled across the United States, including Alaska, bringing attention to the sacrifices of WWII veterans and their contribution to the democracy that we enjoy today in our nation.
As a farm boy who grew up in Oldham County, Bruce represents the thousands of soldiers who, like him, grew up in rural America, not realizing that the challenges of the Depression years would prepare them for the battlefields of World War II.
