It is impossible to miss this magnificent structure when you drive by it on I-95.

This is great lead!
Thanks to all Marines.
I just hope this man doesn't show up there to make a speech.

Doubt it. More like Jan '07.

this magnificent structure
Just an ignorant question...
Is the structure meant to be symbolic of something in particular?
I can sort of see the shape as an abstraction of the triangular shape
of the cluster of Marines planting the flag on Iwo Jima.
Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but I was just wondering.
I'm no architect, but if I'd submitted a design, I'd probably submitted
an huge version of a quonset hut. But then I grew up watching "Gomer Pyle"!

Construction of the exterior is complete along with the spire that is meant
to symbolize the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.
"Never mind" my previous post.
