LT COL Charlie Brown. I like the design. I take it the walls will have names. The names will be easier to find and read. It is bad enough to go to a place like this,but it is also a honor and one of the few places names will be mentioned. Most likely will be older people, and we love them so let it be easy on them. I have never lost a child but I did loose a granddaughter. Yes I like it.

I think its supposed to represent the "Left Hook" maneuver used by VII corps.

What’s it supposed to be? Oh- we don’t know yet. Like the shape of a sand dune?

If you read the article it says it's symbolic. This is an excerpt-
The initial design reflects the “unique environmental and battle conditions” of the war with a curved Kuwaiti limestone wall that shields visitors from their urban surroundings and mimics the successful “left-hook” maneuver that coalition forces used, according to the NDSWMA website.
