Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the current design concept for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial fails to adequately honor the profound sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces, and demanding a redesigned monument that clearly and unmistakably honors the valor, combat reality, and distinct sacrifice of post-9/11 veterans.

Sponsored By: Representative Mills, Cory [R-FL-7]

Introduced

Summary

Redesign the memorial to explicitly honor post-9/11 veterans and Gold Star families. The resolution says the current abstract, landscape-focused concept fails to convey combat reality, faces, names, and the physical sacrifice of those who served.

Show full summary
  • Veterans and Gold Star families: Demands a design that visibly shows valor, combat sacrifice, faces, names, and military gear so their service is unmistakable.
  • Memorial organizations and planners: Urges the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the National Capital Planning Commission to reject or substantially modify abstract, landscape-centric proposals.
  • Public memory and history: Frames the memorial as an enduring testament to a 20-year conflict that involved more than 2.7 million deployed service members and over 7,000 deaths, and seeks to preserve that reality for future generations.
