What 51 states?[edit]

The article states "The memorial, 60 feet high, [...] is encircled by 51 columns, each bearing the emblem of a state." If these are United states, what is the 51st? Aren't there only 50 states in the U.S.A.? And if these are nation-states, like Syria and Canada, should that be made clear? Beobach972 (talk) 23:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article notes that the panels are for the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. However if this was not clear to you I'll edit a little to make it clearer. NearTheZoo (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replace the top photo with this one?[edit]

I have the following image of the Yad Kennedy structure:

Would anyone object if I replaced the top image on the article with this one? This new one is higher resolution and public domain. It also shows the "eternal flame" (a light bulb) through the entrance.

If you're sure it's public domain, then by all means -- go for it! Thanks! NearTheZoo (talk) 02:29, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good news. I was able to add an Israel copyright permission tag to your photo. Click on your photo to see it.

More photos?[edit]

I think it would be good to add a few more photos (perhaps as part of a gallery) to show images such as the JFK bust and the memorial wall. If anyone has photos to add, please do. Otherwise, if anyone reading this note lives in Jerusalem, please consider taking some photos and uploading them. (Otherwise, I hope to be in Israel this December, and I'll try to do that.) Thanks!

My thanks to Gilabrand for adding beautiful new photos! NearTheZoo (talk) 00:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo from visit of USS John F. Kennedy officers and crew[edit]

If anyone has a photo from this visit, I would like to add it to this article. NearTheZoo (talk) 15:06, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
