Sgt Dan Brown Idaho Fallen Soldiers Memorial

Dedicated in 2017, the memorial depicts a life size bronze statue of Sgt Dan Brown reaching out to an Iraqi child and includes a 24-foot wall listing the names of Idaho soldiers killed since the attacks of 9/11. Salt Lake portrait sculptor Lena Toritch created the clay statue of Sgt. Brown. Born and trained in St. Petersburg, Russia, Toritch is a U.S. citizen who lives in Salt Lake City. She feels it is her mission to create sculptures that help people find comfort and hope while honoring the service of American soldiers.

Dan Brown served in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he was killed on March 24, 2012.
He rests on the American War Graves Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery.
