freedom Wall

My topic for the final project is the World War II Memorial and though I know it is an especially sensitive topic for many vet’s, I didn’t realize that those involved — and onlookers alike — would have such mixed sentiments about the memorial’s commemoration in D.C.. The photographs I’ve obtained through Flickr and other various sites are noble and do the memorial justice in magnifying the beauty and effort that was inserted into it’s creation but one part of the memorial I can’t and won’t ever forget is the message transcribed in the “Freedom Wall.”

 “Here we mark the price of freedom”

As a soon-to-be military wife, I’d like to know my significant other’s sentiments about the memorial.  He has been deployed to Iraq twice and I’m curious to see how I can tie in his personal experiences and emotions with that of WWII veteran’s whom have either visited or not visited and loved or detested the memorial created to honor their service.
