Won in collaboration with Michael Vergason Landscape Architects, A memorial was built in Washington, DC honoring the veterans of American military operations who have, through their efforts on behalf of their country, suffered significant disabilities. The memorial is located near the Mall and in clear view of the Capitol. The design called for the configuration of a broad triangular reflection pool and an integral star-shaped reflection pool, which, together with a centrally positioned, self-sustaining fire component, serve as a major component of the memorial.
