Well we found one larger than life character, the lone sailor memorial to marines, navy, merchant marines and those fallen to the sea. We have more larger than life people yet to meet but wanted to intimidate team two.

The Lone Sailor, a 1987 bronze sculpture, is a tribute to all the personnel of the sea services. The sculpture was created by Stanley Bleifeld for the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.38°53?39?N 77°1?23?WCoordinates: 38°53?39?N 77°1?23?W


The Lone Sailor is modeled on then Petty Officer 1st class Dan Maloney. After giving up on honor guard models, Bleifeld asked New London Submarine Base for someone more typical. As part of the casting process, the bronze for The Lone Sailor was mixed with artifacts from eight U. S. Navy ships, provided by the Naval Historical Center.
