There is certainly something going on with the columns. Since I'm not good with doubling, I've decided not to make an opinion of it and will let all of you decide. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 07:41 am Well this is going to make it a LOT harder when looking for DDR's relating to the columns, I looked over a couple others around the same date and they don't have those two streaks. Guess there worn down? I don't know anymore Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 6:16 pm There are actually 4 fake columns on the Memorial reverse: These are trying to show the rows of columns behind these columns of the building. Report this Post to the Staff
