## Resource

Jefferson City’s newest landmark, the Missouri Mule and Veterans Statue, stands as a powerful tribute to history and service, unveiled just in time for America’s 250th birthday. Crafted solo by Vietnam veteran Joe Bryan — his first-ever statue — it features a WWI Marine, a mule symbolizing Missouri’s “mule capital” legacy, and a bulldog, all honoring past sacrifices and inspiring future generations. Despite last-minute rain forcing the ceremony to move to St. Joseph Cathedral, crowds gathered to celebrate this moving piece of public art, praised by Governor Kehoe as a true representation of Missourians.
