"The Lone Sailor", a bronze statue, 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, DC.Coord|38|53|39|N|77|1|23|W|type:landmark_region:US|display=inline,title

"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.
