Description:
This is a recent memorial, which seems strange, since World War I was fought over a hundred years ago. It was dedicated in April 2021. It is built on what was known as Pershing Square. What grabs me is the depiction of the mural which is being created. It shows the Everyman aspect of the War. From the time a soldier leaves home to when he returned back. The mural reflects off of the pond.
There is many aspects which reflect how the Vietnam Memorial affect people There is the starkness and simpleness of the memorial, giving a person time to reflect about the war and the consequences of it.
