Monuments Design
RVMW monuments will consist of large 4×8 ft. Laser etched panels of combat art pertinent to that war campaign. These will be encased in a Lannon stone base and endcaps. Final art designs are in process. More detail under the Monuments Laser etched design tab. The below group of existing Veterans monuments , if combined in design, provide an insight to our designs. The RVMW will be the first laser etched Veterans monument in the country to utilize combat art as opposed to photographic collages.
