Internationally acclaimed sculptor Richard Hunt is
a natural fit to honor the officer candidates of the
17th Provisional Training Regiment and WAAC at Fort
Des Moines. A Chicago native and U.S. Army veteran who
served on the selection committee for the Vietnam Memorial
in Washington, D.C., his life is a steady stream of
creative success spanning five decades. His solo exhibitions,
museum collections, and public sculptures are too numerous
to mention.
