“I am a 55 year old master carpenter who was heading to work listening to NPR, as i do every morning, when I heard the segment on raising funds and creating a monument to be located in the national mall in Washington DC. Before I even heard they would e accepting ideas for the monument, the image of women breaking through a glass ceiling came to mind. Upon hearing they were accepting submissions i immediately pulled over and jotted down in detail what i envisioned . I thought about it throughout the day tweeking it with revisions in my mind until I settled on what I thought encompassed and summed up what the monument would try to convey. I was excited to get home, and with the help of an AI app I described in as much detail as I could the image in my mind. I couldn't believe how exact the image created was to the image in my head. My wife commented "Wow! That's exactly how you explained it to me. I hope it deserves your consideration.”

I was raised by a single mother who showed me what a hardworking, intelligent, fair woman was and what they deserved. I endeavored to find that type of woman to marry , which I did. She in turn has helped me to raise our daughter and luckily now our granddaughters to follow in the footsteps of all strong women. Regardless of which monument is selected, im looking forward to someday visiting our nation's capital and seeing it first hand. You can bet that my entire family will be accompanying me.
