Concerned citizens can respectfully contact the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts staff about the initial GWOT Memorial design concept on the National Mall. Email cfastaff@cfa.gov with brief, design-focused comments on elements like compatibility with the historic Mall setting, landscape features, and how clearly the memorial conveys lasting national significance per the Commemorative Works Act. Sample message you can adapt: “As a [veteran / Gold Star family member / constituent], I support honoring GWOT service members and families with a national memorial. However, the abstract symbolic design with vegetation-covered arches and reflection elements raises concerns that it may not provide sufficient direct recognition of individual sacrifice or fully align with criteria for surroundings relevant to the subject. I respectfully ask the Commission to consider revisions during concept review that strengthen commemoration while complementing nearby memorials. Thank you for your important work.” Personalize with your own perspective and send soon—concept reviews are upcoming. Your thoughtful input helps shape a fitting memorial. #GWOTMemorial

Shaped by the voices of 20,000 Americans, including service members, veterans and Gold Star families, the Global War on Terrorism Memorial is one step closer to becoming a reality. The newly unveiled design will stand as a lasting tribute to the generations who served, sacrificed and supported loved ones in the wake of 9/11. gwotmemorialfoundation.org/g… #GWOTMemorial #GWOT
