The four statues were removed in the 1960s and placed in storage. The statues were restored and two were re-erected in front of the Kiowa County Courthouse in Hobart in 1978 and the other two were re-erected in a small park in Granite in 1979. Pairs of Viquesney Doughboy and Spirit of the American Navy statues exist at Hobart and Granite, Oklahoma; Kingman, Arizona; Clearwater, Florida; Naperville, Illinois; Fort Wayne, Indiana and Crowell, Texas (stone version of the Navy statue).
