[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4376248, member: 7900"] During our trip to Virginia beginning a couple of weeks ago, we drove into Washington, D.C. to see the Smithsonian Air and Space museum and some of the memorials on the Mall. Real cool weather and a really long walk kept us from seeing all that I (kind of) wanted to see, but we did get by and see the National Native American Veteran's Memorial that was designed by a co-worker of ours at the OSBI. His name is Harvey Pratt, and his design was chosen from roughly 102 different designs from designers world wide. While we didn't get to the other memorials, this one was the main one that the wife and I wanted to see. The design incorporates sacred things to the Native Americans such as the circle, water, and supposedly fire, although we didn't see the fire element. It was supposed to be at the bottom of the big vertical circle. There are areas to sit and four "lances" on which can be hung prayer clothes. Three of the lances can easily be seen in this picture, with the fourth directly behind the one on the left.
