  • Comments from the 15 November Public Meeting
    APPENDIX ANCHORAGE VETERANS’ MEMORIAL REDEVELOPMENT Summary of Public Input from Public Meetings and Other Documents Received from the Public Public meetings were held by the Blue Ribbon Task Force for Redevelopment of Anchorage Veterans’ Memorial on 15 and 19 November, 2007. At those meetings, four concepts were presented to the public for review and comment. Following is a review of comments that were received at those meetings and from the public via email or letters. For Reference: Concept A (Oval): “America’s Northern Shield of Freedom” concept by Berkeley J. Ide. Concept B (Hourglass): An hour-glass paved area with a private area and remembrance wall to the north, community seating with a community “heroes” garden to the north. Concept C (Chevron): Semi-transparent light walls and a semi-abstract sculpture at the base of the existing flagpole. Concept D (Circular): Three defined spaces in succession, a “flag wall” and an “ante-chamber” for the Purple Heart Memorial and a new Medal of Honor memorial. Comments from the 15 November Public Meeting Following is input from the public in open discussions. I hate to lose any of the trees that are there. We should keep as many as we can. The trees host a lot of bugs that make ceremonies unpleasant. We should remove any that are generating bugs. When concrete is placed for the memorial, it does not seem proper for those spaces to be used for other uses. We wouldn’t want hot dog stands or cars on those paved areas. Which has less disturbance to the Park Strip? Both B and C have diagonal sidewalks that would prevent use of the space east of those walkways.

We are forward deployed and forward engaged: shaping, training, deterring and responding to all manner of crises and contingencies. We create options and decision space for our Nation’s leaders.
