File:Arlington National Cemetery Proposed Hemicycle Statue - AA Weinman - 1934.jpg
The Hemicycle was never completed. This early draft of the sculpture was later changed, and submitted to the CFA (which approved it on December 20, 1935). The CFA requested minor changes, which were made and approved by the CFA on May 2, 1936. But the apse and niches were not filled with memorials as planned, as the federal government decided to spend money fighting the Great Depression rather than funding sculpture for the cemetery.
The Hemicycle was transformed into the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in 1995.
