Washington DC’s Congressional Cemetery may have a new addition honoring LGBTI veterans if the National LGBT Veteran’s Memorial Project succeeds in their efforts.
The structure will consist of three 11-foot tall stone monoliths, each with two of the six emblems of the United States military forces — Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines.
The structure will be centered by a flagpole and an engraved description behind the meaning of the memorial. It will be located in the cemetary’s “gay corner” where six gay servicemen are already buried.
