Statement of Purpose:

My memorial consists of an enormous outline of Iraq covering most of the Ellipse.  This outline will be built out of 15 foot mirrored glass walls.  Etched into glass will be select quotes from those leaders who pushed us to invade Iraq.

I want people to read these quotes and, at the same time, see reflections in the glass, reflections of themselves and of the world around them.  Why?  Because ultimately there is only one answer to the question of who is responsible for this war.  The American people are.  This is their baby.
