Great design, Jeff. From the first moment I saw the 'Crescent of Embrace', and heard the asinine excuse that the topography called for that type of landscape, I wondered why they didn't just close the circle. You have shown that not only would that be possible, but would be true to the spirit of those the memorial is meant to honor.

The only thing I would consider is maybe an eagle and American flag for the central statue instead of a mini Lady Liberty. It would be more in keeping with an icon of the fallen heroes' fighting spirit. Besides, I don't envision this site to be a welcome mat, which is the essence of the Statue of Liberty.

Just my muddling 2 cents. And worth at least half that.

I think we should just put a missile silo right at crash site, aimed at you-know-where.

I thing the fact the design is PERFECTLY alligned to mecca makes it 100% certain there is no coincidence here. This is 100% a slap at the USA.

The design approval board should be completly removed and a new board appointed.
