15. Leslie Jensen was honored in 2017 by the Trail of Governors with a life-size bronze statue by sculptor James Van Nuys. The statue portrays Jensen in a First World War-vintage Army uniform, recognizing him as the only governor to have served in that war. It is placed on Capitol Avenue near the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ World War Memorial building, which is South Dakota’s memorial to the First World War and houses the Department of the Military and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
