The soldiers we have lost and will lose will not be forgotten. This is a quick few questions to approach this topic related to design. Please feel free to comment and throw out some creative ideas and concepts.
How can design be implemented to remember a lost American Soldier? What type of product would have to be designed to remember them? Would it have to be a product? How would the design be remembered?

You want us to do your homework?
- Usually how it works is that you come up with a few directions and/or ideas and then we critique.monospaced

Soldiers, nurses, doctors, reporters, children, women, innocent people, etc.
None of them should be forgotten, and they will not, as long as humanity stops wars from happening again. If we can't stop them, then unfortunately, it means that we have indeed forgotten.

Seriously, this does sound like a design school assignment.

Its not homework.
Obviously the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is great and so is Arlington Cemetery. These are architectural greats.
Along with every human person, but many people have forgotten about the soldiers that have died for our freedom.- Not a school assignment?
Are you working on an American Veteran's memorial that may or may not include a product?monospaced - unfortunately human kind forgets very quicklyMeeklo

Cherishing the fallen ones is a problem above design. There's military and civil honours to do that. Why bring it to design?

Coca Cola should produce a Memorial for American Soldiers.

I meant the boots by the way, and not the Vietnam memorial.

I am seeking personal views on the topic.
Does this have anything to do with not having a personal connection with a soldier, especially one that has fallen?
The Battle Cross, also a great way to remember a Army soldier (not universal), considering it was developed and put into the Army ceremonial manuals.

I have a small lightbox on my wall with my grandad's Purple Heart, his combat stripes, and the german shrapnel removed from his leg. I have his combat diaries tied in a ribbon in a box in my closet.
I don't need anything "designed".

My dad's uncle was one of macarthur's personal guards. He says he hung out a lot and played a lot of cards. He has personal letters from him.

are you looking to make a buck off trying to produce something in remembrance of the fallen for mass consumer production? You fuck twit.
That should stay in the cemeteries and monuments.
- That's why it feels like a student assignment as opposed to actual work or even a design discussion.monospaced
- yeah, I meant as a project. Are they teaching this shit now a days?********
- Sounds like the teacher was on a little Maya Lin kick and wanted to create a simple assignment for the students.monospaced
