My name is justin. I am the president of the National Civic arts society. We are delighted you could join us this evening to hear sabin howard resent his classical design for the National World war i memorial. Founded in 2002, the society educates and empowers our leaders in the promotion of public art and architecture worthy of a great republic. We do so by advocating for the Classical Tradition and civic design. We believe that tradition is unparalleled in its dignity, beauty, and harmony and not to mention its legibility to the common man. It is no accident that the Founding Fathers chose the classical style when designing the Nations Capital and its core buildings of government. The founders socked to harken back to rome and athens and they knew classical architecture was timehonored and timeless. The National Civic arts Society Works to continue and expand upon the vision of the founders for the federal design generally. I perhaps dont need to tell you that since the 1950s, washin
