"Don’t blink or you’ll drive right by this beautiful piece of architecture. This memorial is minimalistic, yet dazzles the eyes with its stunning array of parallel and perpendicular lines. It’s a great place to relax, soak up some peace, pay respect to those who gave their lives for our country, and marvel at the concrete structure."
