The statue has been touched up on several occasions by city employees in its first 15 years of existence to deal with fading paint and the impact of hurricane forces. According to a Bluffton University website, the sculpture was restored in 2000 and rededicated in 2001. In 2010, an additional restoration included "cleaning, corrosion removal and stabilization of its ferrous metal elements, compounding of the painted surfaces, concrete repair, and partial repainting". Other elements of the repair include the replacement of lost concrete and protective cooling.
