In November, the San Francisco Arts Commission selected three design proposals as finalists for a San Francisco Veterans Memorial, to be located across the street from City Hall. Today, those designs were made public, and they'll be on display in the Veterans Building main lobby at 401 Van Ness Avenue until June 22. The winner is slated to be formally dedicated on Veterans Day, Nov 11, 2012.

Here are the images of the proposals. Click on each photo to see all of the images from each design and read a description.
