The arch is 250 ft. tall to commemorate our 250th year.

Fireworks are nice but they are gone to ash in seconds. We should definitely have a grand, permanent monument to memorialize this occasion.

Build the arch ASAP.

Art is significant. The first thing invaders do when there is conquest, is to destroy the art, the monuments that stand to remind us of the great accomplishments made. Like Mao’s goal, the Cultural Revolution accomplished a reprogramming of the population by subtly removing anchors to past generations. President Trump understands this is an important opportunity for Americans to celebrate our past and the people who brought us to this point in time.

We don't need an arch in Washington, D.C., especially not one 250 feet tall. It will be nothing more than a distraction. Instead, use the money to send more illegal immigrants home.

In my state of Oregon, we raise trees taller than 250 feet. Obama’s Chicago minaret is a tower of 225 feet.

We really don’t need anything like that in D.C. It would be more than 50 feet taller than the Lincoln Memorial.

I would love to see a tree that tall. I think my 50' Ash is something.

Like Reagan said, “A tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at?” We grow them like a crop. Like a cornfield except the crop rotation is longer. They look much better when they are cut down and used to build homes for families and buildings for businesses.

Thank you for the very informative article. I can't understand how anyone can think that an ordinnce for businesses affects the Federal government...

On another note, no, Memorial Day is ONLY about those who gave their lives while serving, not "and the men who came home and continued to serve the republic in quieter ways"

Please, please. please, don't conflate Memorial Day with Veterans Day or Armed Services Day,

Not sure the value of this thing or the significance of it. Understand that they want to beautify the place. But I can agree with Susan here use that money to get these criminals out of our Country.

Patriotism is not born out of practicality. It is born out of something beyond dollars and cents. It is founded in courage, love, and commitment. You can’t buy that.
