What is it supposed to represent, or is it an abstract design?

The Arlington memorial was dedicated in October 2006 and I would walk past it once a month when I sat monthly on a Board at the Navy Annex immediately adjacent to the memorial. As you can see at this link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Memorial , the memorial is a much larger version of the one in Boscawen. Since it sits on a hill in Arlington less than three miles from National airport, it is large enough and high enough to require red warning lights on the tips. The link also provides and explanation of the design for both the Boscawen and Arlington memorials. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.com
