who provided patriotism and
manpower, contributing to
victory.
“We can not afford not to
teach the American spirit,”
Ambrose said. “Today we can
help bring the Muslims into the
modern world, as was done
with Germany.”
Bush spoke Monday
evening about his experience
as a United States Navy aviator
during World War II and what
he feels the greatest legacy is
for him, especially in light of
the Sept. I 1 terrorist attacks.
Bush spoke about his per
sonal loss during the war and
his feelings after his plane was
shot down. He said he had a
ticket home, “to be relieved of
his duties after being shot
down.” But instead he rejoined
his ship because his duty to
serve the country came first.
Bush said.
“Our duties and freedom is
what it means to be an
American,” Bush said. “Since
Sept. 1 1, the World War II lega
cy is alive and well.”
Bush said Americans are
seeing the nation united like it
was after the attack on Pearl
Harbor.

The winner was^ Robert Eccleston, an artist
from Schyler Falls, N.Y. He has designed a mon
ument in Connecticut, a monument at Yankee
Stadium and a firefighters’ memorial in New
York City.
The monument’s base will be made of pol
ished Texas granite, the same material used
for the fountain at the George Bush Library.
The base, which is at an angle, represents the
different branches of the armed forces,
Romei said.
Almost $320,000 of the $500,000 required to
build the monument has been raised. A recent
fundraising event aided by Texas A&M System
Chancellor Howard D. Graves raised $120,000
in one night.
The remainder of the park will consist of 13
soccer fields, 10 baseball fields and two pavil
ions, one named for Texas and the other named
for the United States.
Guests at the groundbreaking included Mayor
Lynn Mcllhaney of College Station and Mayor
Jay Don Watson of Bryan. The keynote speaker
was Dr. Frank Vandiver, who recounted a brief
history of America’s wars.
The monument is expected to be completed
next November.
