The middle, the duty… honor…country, is engraved on the granite benches [near the wall]. The flag in the sun on the top, the bench in the middle, and the silhouettes of the service members supporting them from below." - Source: Honoring Vets, Top Stories / Winning design selected in the 2022 Veterans Day poster contest.
