Márton Váró and Ross Andrews

Váró and Andrews' Peace Memorial at the Palm Desert's Civic Center Park honors the community's veterans. Sculpturally, the flame-like white marble sculpture is intended to symbolize peace, in the shadow of the gray monolyths that bear the names of desert residents who lost their lives defending peace. The memorial also includes the text of a letter from Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1991.
