National Commander Tyson, National Adjutant Wilson, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen –
It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to provide you with an update on our progress in transforming the Memorial from a concept into reality. And although we’ve encountered some challenges along the way, I think all of you, especially in light of the last few weeks of focus on the National Debt, instinctively know that getting anything done in our Nation’s Capital takes time, a lot of patience, and most importantly, perseverance.
I’ve heard your National Adjutant remark that thinking about all the agencies, commissions, and laws in Washington that we’ve had to deal with – their acronyms -the CWA, CFA, NCPC, NPS, DOT, NCMC, AOC, DDOT – sent him to bed thinking about alphabet soup. For me it’s more like playing Scrabble but you don’t know your score until the game’s over.
I’d like to give you a brief recap of where we’ve been and how far we’ve traveled –
