The memorial is just a semi-circle.

Come on it's even called the "Crescent of Embrace".... hell if you put up something call the "Cross of Remembrance" the ACLU would sue

You do have a point there.

At first I thought that those who are complaining about this were making "much-a-do-about-nothing," but the terminology bothers me. I would love to see a response from the design team to a simple question: "Why did you call it "Crescent?" And, depending upon their response, their answer to: "Do you understand the inappropriate religious meaning contained in the use of that symbol?"

Additionally, I must agree that the ACLU would be going ape-dooky over this. Has someone thought of contacting them on this issue? While their past actions would tend to suggest that they would only oppose this if it were a Christian or (perhaps) Jewish symbol that was referenced or used, there IS a chance that they might act on this. Not a big one ... mind you ... but a chance.
