The article discusses the efforts of Army veteran and Legionnaire Michael Rodriguez to establish a national Global War on Terrorism Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The memorial's design will incorporate input from veterans and their families, and the goal is to unveil the design and break ground in 2025. Rodriguez emphasizes the importance of honoring those who served and lost their lives, healing from the effects of war, empowering veterans to share their stories, and uniting the nation in recognition of the ongoing multigenerational war.
