Designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/rdgusa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RDG Planning &amp; Design<\/a>, the memorial seeks to honor veterans by unifying and enhancing existing memorials. Located on Chaplain Schmitt Island, the memorial was first dedicated in 2009 and championed by Dubuque resident Louis Kartman, a former U.S. Marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RDG\u2019s design for the $3.2 million renovation created a new memorial mall unified through the golden mean, a decorative concrete path that transforms into an elevated boardwalk and extends from the Veterans Memorial Plaza over the pond. As part of the renovation, existing components, including donor pavers, memorials and the original helicopter installation, were temporarily removed and preserved and then reinstalled in the final design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key element of the project includes Skyward, a spiraling sculpture designed and fabricated by the Art Studio at RDG. The 24-foot public art installation honors the late Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt, who died at Pearl Harbor while helping crew members escape the USS Oklahoma as it took on water. Visitors can experience Skyward while reading Edward Thomas\u2019 poem \u201cRain,\u201d which is etched on the inside and serves as a reminder of the fragility of life, the price of war and the many sacrifices of veterans. In addition, colorful lighting illuminates the piece at night, adding prominence to the memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-attachment-id=\"87118\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/retrofitmagazine.com\/a-redesigned-monument-honors-veterans\/screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12-32-03-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?fit=1756%2C1170&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1756,1170\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?fit=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?resize=1536%2C1023&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/retrofitmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-12.32.03-PM.png?w=1756&amp;ssl=1 1756w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>A key element of the project includes Skyward, a spiraling sculpture designed and fabricated by the Art Studio at RDG.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cCreating this art piece has been a truly humbling experience,\u201d says RDG Partner Doug Adamson, PLA, ASLA. \u201cThroughout the process, we had the privilege of meeting with local veterans\u2019 groups, listening to their stories and experiences, and gaining a deep understanding that helped ensure the sculpture was what it should be\u2014a meaningful, contemplative space of solace and respect.
