Thank you former OPEN students for your participation, and again congratulations on your great design, for your hard work effort in meeting the requirements and deadlines for submission!

Their sacrifice and those since who served to protect our democracy will not be forgotten. While not selected, our students were among the 5,201 successful submitters who sought to honor you with their memorial designs.
