'Judge I. G. Kimball worked hard during several sessions of Congress
as the Department Head of the G.A.R. in the District to get the bill

It finally went thro in President Theo. Roosevelt's Administration,
and the Judge was
honored by being the one chosen to remove the first spadeful of earth
to start the work.
His name appears on a bronze tablet on the completed structure.
He regarded this as the crowning accomplishment of his life.'
