Final Candidates Announced to Design Global War on Terrorism Memorial on National Mall
Five internationally recognized designers under consideration
"In April, the Foundation entered the design phase of the Memorial's construction process. It was therefore time to make headway toward identifying the designer who will lead a team to create a national place of honor, healing, empowerment, and unity," said Foundation President and CEO Michael "Rod" Rodriguez. "We are confident that each of the remaining candidates are fully capable of bringing their own unique vision to the project, incorporating feedback from Gold Star families and veterans into the Memorial's design, and guiding a team of other artists who will help create this sacred tribute to American heroes. We look forward to making a final designer selection later this summer."
"The Board of Directors resolved to conduct the search for the right designer in the most transparent, impartial, and professional way possible," said Board Chair Ted Skokos. "The Designer Advisory Board meticulously narrowed down a pool of worthy candidates to reach the current finalists. Now the Board will carefully deliberate to select the designer most capable of bringing the Memorial to life in a way that honors all who have served and sacrificed in America's longest war."
