The Fighting Stallions Memorial in Pierre, SD is a poignant tribute constructed by the people of South Dakota to honor the memory of eight individuals who tragically lost their lives in an airplane crash in 1993. The memorial features a bronze sculpture, enlarged from a 1935 mahogany carving by South Dakota sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, symbolizing the state's resilience, determination, and belief in a brighter future.
This memorial, authorized and funded by the South Dakota legislature, stands as a testament to the ultimate sacrifice made by these individuals and the collective efforts of hundreds of South Dakotans who volunteered their labor, materials, and financial contributions to bring this project to fruition.
