“America owes its present greatness to its past sacrifices. Because the past is always at risk of being forgotten, monuments will always be needed to honor those who came before. These monuments express our noblest ideals: respect for our ancestors, love of freedom, and striving for a more perfect union. In preserving them, we show reverence for our past, we dignify our present, and we inspire those who are to come. To build a monument is to ratify our shared national project.” —Donald John Trump, 3 July 2021
Love the idea. Especially beautifying that area and the fire element . For the triumphal arch sculpture , would choose a couple of different presidents. And/or have a sculpture honoring some fairly unknown local patriot heroes who gave their all for our nation. : David Broderick, Edward Baker, & Thomas Starr King who I learned about in Andrea Ingraham’s fantastic book, The Lincoln Revolution in California. Could inspire curiosity in that local bit of history.
