## 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. - 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.
