REPRODUCTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS IN GLASS :: AMERICAN VETERANS DISABLED FOR LIFE MEMORIAL - WASHINGTON, D.C.
Glass Strategies Inc. enlisted Moon Shadow Glass to partner with them in creating this impressive installation in the nation's capital. Three interpretive walls comprised of 48 laminated and etched glass panels pay tribute to disabled veterans, both living and deceased, who served in conflicts throughout the nation’s history.
The design of the memorial, was by the acclaimed landscape architect Michael Vergason. It was meant expressly for its audience – disabled veterans, their loved ones, friends and caretakers – who will now have a place for commemoration and quiet reflection.
Glass Strategies Inc. laminated the glass panels, allowing the memorial to withstand hurricane-force winds. With five layers of glass, plus four layers of lamination, the total weight of each glass panel is approximately 1,800 pounds.
Moon Shadow Glass Inc. completed the etching. Some of the etchings appear on the outside surfaces of the panels, allowing visitors to touch and feel the indentations, which are 1/16-inch deep. The majority of the etching is on the interior side, where the words and images aren't exposed to the elements. The interior etching also provides a subtle sense of depth for the artwork.
