Going to see it this weekend. From what I saw as they were building it, they did a great job.

I have to admit, I didn't like the placement of the monument at first, and some of the early designs were just way too huge for the space. But now that I see a picture of it, I like it. WWII was a pivotal moment in our nation's history, when we moved to superpower status, and the brave men and women of WWII deserve all the recognition we can give them for what they did in service to humanity.

I am a charter member of the Memorial Association. Dad and Mom are long gone but they would be proud of the memorial. Dad was in the Army Air Corps and Mom tested ammunition at the Sunflower Ammunition Plant. I'm so glad this memorial finally got built.

We just got back from the memorial. It's quite a site. Very beautiful, just like the pictures. It opened to the public yesterday. Mr. Teacup and I picked up our grandson from school at lunch time and took the metro to the Memorial. I hope you get to come over and see it.
