Korean War & Second Division Monuments Modifications, Post Op-Ed and Mall Quiz

Dear Friends of the National Mall,

Happy Holidays! The National Mall Coalition was founded in 2000 by a group of architects, historians, preservationists, educators, and concerned citizens seeking to provide, in the face of fragmented government management, a voice for the public interest in National Mall matters. We continue to raise a voice to protect and enhance public use of the National Mall.

In this newsletter update, read:
• A concerned citizen’s comments on plans to modify the Korean War Veterans and Second Division Monuments
• The Coalition’s latest Op-Ed in The Washington Post about Mall Flooding
• And more …

The National Mall is our stage for American democracy. The Mall belongs to all of us. Let us know if you have topics of interest and concern we should include in our outreach to the public.

With this newsletter, we are once again asking for your support for the important work our National Mall Coalition has done and will continue to do next year. Your tax deductible donation goes to costs of producing and distribution our very popular mini-maps, The National Mall: Stage for Our Democracy, to public outreach to the local community and visitors from across the country, and to our ongoing development of innovative projects to ensure the Mall’s future resiliency and sustainability.
