American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial
AMERICAN VETERANS DISABLED FOR LIFE MEMORIAL
WASHINGTON, DC | AVDLM is the first national memorial dedicated to veterans from all service branches and across all generations of conflict. The 2.4-acre site sits at the base of the Capitol in Washington, DC and serves as a reminder of the human costs of war and the need to support America’s veterans. MVLA won the national competition to design this site with a landscape composed of a central fire in a star reflecting pool, set within a grove of gingko trees. The fire embodies elemental forces of loss and renewal, emerging from the water as a reminder of the hope that perseveres in the face of adversity.
