Stonewall Jackson Cemetery Visit- Jimmy Fiume

The most notable thing I took away from the visit to the cemetery was an appreciation for the amount of thought that goes into finding a way so that every detail has meaning. In the past, I've tended to associate this more with large public monuments, as opposed to a small-town cemetery. It surprised me how even here, the designers put so much thought into symbolism. The experience helped me realize that no aspect of a memorial is there by accident, and even the most subtle details can be significant in conveying the intended meaning of the memorial. This will cause me analyze other memorials we discuss in this class in greater detail.
