But when the monument on Memorial Plaza was being designed by Marshall Fredericks to honor World War II and Korean War veterans, some Clevelanders just called it inappropriate. The main figures in the sculptor’s plans were to be nude. While today’s fountain shows a nude male rising out of flames, Frederick also wanted to include a nude female. American Gold Star Mothers of Cuyahoga County were adamant that the figures be clothed, so Fredericks removed the female and added some strategically placed flames. “By incorporating the flames, Marshall was able to placate the concerns,” says Melissa Ford, archivist for the Marshall M.
