随着这次纪念公园竞赛5个入围作品的最终确定，美国一战纪念委员会似乎要向保留团队表明立场。

5个入围作品为了在华盛顿宾夕法尼亚大道上形成纪念公园，均建议拆除场地上30多年历史的潘兴公园。潘兴公园，由M.Paul Friedberg设计，Oehme van Sweden&Associates事务所进行园林设计，被看作是一个重要的现代景观设计。同时，Friedberg告诉Architectural Record网站，竞赛的组织者应该预先告知他。竞赛允许参赛者与现有的Friedberg景观结合设计，但几乎无人响应。评委们，其中还包括景观保护主义人士，似乎认为潘兴公园没有保留的价值。

With the selection of five finalists for its memorial competition, the United States World War I Centennial Commission seems to be moving closer to a showdown with preservation groups.
All five finalists for a memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington call for the elimination of Pershing Park, which has occupied the site for more than 30 years. Designed by M. Paul Friedberg, with plantings by Oehme, van Sweden & Associates, the park has been identified as an important modernist landscape, and Friedberg told RECORD that the organizers of the competition should have called him first. Competitors were allowed to work with the existing Friedberg landscape, but few of them did so. The judges, who include a landscape preservationist, seemed not to find the park worth saving.

传统主义者应该欣慰的是，在五个入围作品中有一个古典主义园林。其设计者是来自Annapolis事务所的Devin Kimmel，他提到：“纪念公园的风格受世界大战所处年代的影响。”其他的入围作品都展现了现代主义的纪念公园，他们分别是：来自密尔沃基的JohnsenSchmaling Architects建筑事务所，通过发光标识的“残酷”网格表达美国人民的损失；来自芝加哥的Joseph Weishaar设计团队则采用了半浮雕的方式；同样来自芝加哥的STL Architects建筑事务所将大型马赛克图像布满场地；来自布鲁克林的Counts Studio建筑事务所的作品是一座蜿蜒的花园。每一个入围作品将获得25,000美元用于深化设计。

Traditionalists should be pleased that one of the five designs is classical. Its creator, Devin Kimmel of Annapolis, stated simply:  “The style of the monument is inspired by the time of the Great War.” The other finalists, all of whom proposed contemporary memorials, are JohnsenSchmaling Architects of Milwaukee, with a "relentless" grid of glowing markers representing Americans lost; Joseph Weishaar of Chicago, with dramatic bas reliefs; STL Architects, also of Chicago, with a mosaic of large photos spread across the site; and Counts Studio in Brooklyn, with a serpentine garden. Each finalist will receive $25,000 to further develop its design.
