    The Guardians are four cast-iron war memorials in the municipality of Venlo designed by the Japanese-American sculptor Shinkichi Tajiri. Located on the Meuse Bridge between Venlo and Blerick, the statues were designed to commemorate all war victims of World War II. On May 2, 2007, the pictures of Queen Beatrix were unveiled.
