HELP! Re- a Statue on the D.C. Mall:

[snot]

Anyone know the name, significance, of this statue?

?

An NPR commentator mentioned it, but I didn't get the details . . .

Many thanks!

2. Your photo didn't print. You need to re-post it.

Or find another. It's possible the image you tried to post was not a .jpeg or .gif image.

5. Here is a map of the National Mall ...

... with legend ...

Looks like it might be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant_Memorial

And a quick google search confirms: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Ulysses+S.+Grant+Memorial&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2

Ta da!

(EDIT TO CLARIFY)

Technically it is the "Cavalry Group" http://dcmemorials.com/index_indivAllPix0000300.htm
