This plaza represents the completion of the Ohio Statehouse restoration.
What a lovely memorial it turned out to be...simple yet complex with its two curved Columbus limestone walls that are engraved with letters sent to families, friends, and loved ones from members of the armed forces. Many of these people did not make it home alive.
I selected two letters that I thought represent the "spirit" of this memorial, and you will find them in the second photograph.
The limestone walls are separated by an expanse of ground, a fountain, and 88 flags representing the 88 counties in Ohio. As you can see from the photographs, it's quite impressive.
