Very interesting, but how long does concrete last underwater? Since it's in Florida, I'm assuming it's under salt-water.

I’m sure one of them has Donald Trumps name on it

Really kool!!!

Fish love it!

Let's see them tear down these statues.

cringe

More things we sink:

What happen to mueller report, collusion, obstruction

Watch. If someone has a scuba accident down there they will sue the state. This country is so fk'd and people are pathetic.

Amazing!

First I heard of this. Underwater?

MarianneRous Easy guiding.

and why is it underwater sounds like an elitist thing to do,

My fellow CNN followers...no one has ever followed me from here....I'd follow back if anyone did though😎😎

Would love to go here.

And you've got people dying without medical insurance?

Why does it exist? What a waste of resources. Put it on the ground where it belongs

When will CNN be calling for its removal for being racist?

Circle of Heroes is the first of many, many, underwater veterans memorial in the US. With rising ocean levels all of our life -sized statues will be submerged. It's one of several underwater attractions that Florida will become, in less time than you think.

Every attraction in florida is gonna be an underwater attraction in 30 years, ROFL

That's what they would have wanted - to be memorialized in concrete 30 feet underwater. It's what they died for.

That’s probably the only United States statue that isn’t in danger of being torn down by leftists nutjobs.
