The Gateway Arch was completed 50 years ago on *Oct 28*, 1965.
I came up with a few ideas for messages, but feel free to suggest something completely different or change what I suggest :).
*• The Gateway Arch, America’s monument to the west, was completed 50 years ago today. *
*• "Clad in stainless steel," the Gateway Arch was completed 50 years ago today.*
*• America’s monument to the west, the Gateway Arch, was completed 50 years ago today.*
