The plaza and walkway surfaces to be of different textured concrete and trimmed with paving brick suitable for inscribing other donor names. A retaining wall to the right of the plaza will afford mounting space for donor recognition plaques also.

Evenly spaced on the east side of the plaza will be five pylons of concrete and stone matching other structures at the cemetery. The pylons to be approximately 7 feet tall and the inner surface to be faced with marble on which will be mounted bronze service seals of the five services.

The center portion of the plaza to be a pedestal approximately 50 feet in diameter and 20 inches high. The outer edge of pedestal to be capped in a way to afford seating to visitors. Mounted in the center of the pedestal will be a representation of the northern hemisphere of the world with the continents outlined in bronze. The top of the hemisphere to be no lower than the five service pylons.

The focal point of the entire memorial will be a sculpted bronze American eagle with wings outspread and in the act of depositing the folded flag on top of the "world". The eagle to be approximately 13 feet taller than the pylons. The olive branch and clutch of 13 arrows as depicted in the Great Seal of the United States will be positioned to the left and right of the eagle thus indicating the war and peace service of those buried there.

The theme therefore, is that from service all over the world, in peace and in conflict, veterans buried there are now at peace and have been afforded a fitting and final tribute.
