Sempre Fidelis

The new military museum off I-95 is a bold statement and a metaphor of the landing and victory at Iwo Jima. The Scale of the project and the tribute to those alive and fallen are equal. It is impressive on the inside with a grand skylight court which is seen in the photo above. The majority of the building is underground and is surrounded by patriotic displays and exhibits. While the building is a bit monumental, it delivers a bold statement as one approaches form either or North or South. The Architects from Denver, Colorado, took care to provide a fitting reminder that those who have sacrificed will not be forgotten.
The structural system is uniquely fitted with a large pylon to careful support the planes which hang from the roof. It will probably last many years.

Who Rah!
