The sylvan landscape around the Lincoln Memorial is a mess, and it will only get worse. On Oct. 24, a new memorial honoring those who served in the first Iraq War, the 1990-91 conflict that forced an invading Iraqi army out of Kuwait, opened just north of the Lincoln Memorial. It sits close to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial along Constitution Avenue and next year there are plans to break ground on new Global War on Terrorism Memorial shoehorned between the two of them. President Donald Trump is also trying to build a giant triumphal arch just across the river, which will loom over the western end of the mall, with yet another monumental addition, a riverside “Garden of American Heroes,” planned for nearby West Potomac Park.
