The National Desert Storm and Desert Shield Memorial will pay tribute to the 299 U.S. soldiers who died during the conflict. Its design took several years.
“We’re here because we all agree that honoring these American warriors is a worthy cause,” said Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., who co-authored the legislation authorizing the memorial’s construction. He called the conflict “an important moment in our nation’s tradition of fighting tyranny.”
“We were told that there weren’t enough organizations that were interested in our message,” Stump said. He said he expects the memorial, when completed, to attract millions of visitors to a prime location near both the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial.
