Combat Medic - Bassett Army Hospital, Ft. Wainwright, Alaska

A life sized sculpture created at the main entrance to the Bassett Army Hospital, Ft. Wainwright near Fairbanks, Alaska. Carved in late January 2004 by the renown local ice artist Vladimir, the work was completely destroyed by a freak warm spell days after finishing. This is possibly the only professional quality picture of the well liked and emotional exhibit.
