John,
As always you have expressed the thoughts of many in your eloquent style. Although moving the decathlon around the country might help spread the awareness, I agree that there are certain things that should be a constant reminder to our elected officials like the creativity and innovation of design professionals working toward solutions for the future. I think Washington DC is the place for the decathlon to remain.
