Hope wars are at an end statuette gifted by Diaz
A 29 inch miniature replica of the bronze St. Michael statue from San Angelo in Rome, presented by General Armando Diaz to Commander Stanford MacNider of the American Legion, symbolizes hopes that conflicts end as the archangel sheaths his sword. San Angelo, Hadrian’s Tomb, was built in the second century by Hadrian and later became a fortress. Pope Gregory reportedly dreamed of the archangel sheathing his sword twelve centuries ago, and a pestilence then ended.
