Artist behind Vietnam War monument to U.S. soldiers also a mentor to Pixar animators
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Paris Peace Accords, marking the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This week, a statue honoring U.S. soldiers in Vietnam was unveiled at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. The artist behind the sculpture has ties to the Bay Area and gets his inspiration from a very special place.
