Review:
The Danny Dietz Memorial honors fallen United States Navy SEAL and Littleton resident Danny "D.J." Dietz, one of several soldiers killed as part of covert action against the Taliban in 2005. The story of Dietz's unit inspired the 2013 feature film Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg and Emile Hirsch, based on the book of the same name by Marcus Luttrell, the unit's only surviving member. The bronze statue, which was constructed by Cañon City artist Robert Henderson, depicts Dietz as posed in one of the final pictures taken of him before his fatal mission, decked out in full combat gear and carrying his M-4 rifle. It was dedicated on the Fourth of July in 2007, two years after the Dietz family was notified of their son's death in combat.
