War memorials

I really liked the Vietnam memorial on the mall in D.C. as built. The additional statuary does not add to the impact.

Memorializing our current conflicts presents a problem.

A dark passage ending in a vertical shaft open to the sky.

A raised area of tightly mown grass surrounded by a red granite wall with names. No entry to the grass.
