America’s wars are generally remembered via static, highly sanitized stone memorials. Washington, D.C., is the mecca for these idols, their sharp lines and clean narratives filling much of the National Mall. In 2017, then-President Donald Trump ratified legislation authorizing a new memorial to be built here, honoring America’s most recent conflict: the global war on terrorism.
The law designates a foundation—composed largely of post-9/11 veterans—to design, fund, and build the memorial. It’s helmed by Michael “Rod” Rodríguez, a former Green Beret soldier and medic with 10 deployments under his belt and plenty of scars to show for it, including PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, vision issues, and what he’s called a “chemical dependency,” though, per his Instagram, Rodríguez is now sober. His war record—complemented by his friendship with former President George W. Bush, who bonded with Rodríguez while oil-painting his portrait—makes him a seemingly perfect steward for his generation’s war memorial. But there’s another part of his biography that makes Rodríguez an exemplar: He, like so many others, spent time at Fort Bragg, America’s largest military base.
