(click the link for photos/artist renderings of the concepts)
I tend to like Heroes Green and World War One Memorial Concept the best. The other three are just "ok" to me. The Weight Of Sacrifice is just another "wall" type, which is more or less similar to the Vietnam monument. The American Family Portrait strikes me as a cemetery for photographs.
You can go to this link and see some designs that didn't make the cut.

A bit confused about this one. I know what the artist was going for and trying to convey with the design, but seriously.... it looks like he just model of Detroit there.

There is one that encompasses the themes of WWI with fields, forests, and fog (man made in this case). Looked nice. A few others encompass the trench aspect of the war. Which is a nice concept, but would be useless as the homeless would take over them to sleep there after dark like they do with other monuments.
