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.
