"Through stone architecture and bronze sculptures, the World War II Memorial recognizes the ways Americans served, honors those who fell, and recognizes the victory they achieved to restore freedom and end tyranny around the globe." The national park service dedicated this memorial in 2004, finally, a memorial on our national mall that honored the greatest generation. The memorial is located directly between The Lincoln and Washington monuments, allowing for those to be honored, to do so, in the shadow of two of the nations most notable President's. What I personally loved about this monument is that it isn't a memorial solely dedicated to the millions who fell in battle, or served in general, but it is truly a well deserved memorial to those serving on the home front and assisting the war efforts, as well. It is truly a memorial that honors collectively all of the efforts that went into World War II and brought the allies victory. It is an incredible memorial that a visit to the national mall without seeing it, wouldn't be complete. I've often ran into and seen numerous world war II veterans visiting the site, a generation of heroes that will soon be gone from earth, I hope when others visit, they too may take the time to stop, talk, and thank one of these men in the presence of the monument built to forever honor and remember them.

What amazing experience to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and Capitol building! Some many diverse cultures and people! Exactly how this country was founded. The United States Constitution is as valid today as it was 245 years ago! Don't diminish its power to govern. WE THE PEOPLE!

Beautiful experience, when you visit in person you can really see how much detail was put into each piece of this memorial. You have a beautiful view of the Washington monument.

Artistically speaking, this is the best installation/memorial in the whole of DC. All the States and territories are represented. DC as a whole is impressive. It does not disappoint; even though most indoor museums, monuments, and exhibits were/are currently closed. It is all better the you think.

One of our families favorite monuments. So much to see at 1 place. All 50 states, amazing views of the fountains with the Washington monument in the background. Moving wall of stars for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Great quotes and 2 sides for the pacific and Atlantic. Really well done and very beautiful.

World War 2 memorial with representation of all states and a few countries. Beautiful fountains in between the Washington Memorial and Lincoln Monument. Several quotes engraved into walls about the veterans of this war and a wall of stars honoring those that were lost. Definitely stop here if you’re visiting either the Washington or Lincoln structures on either side. Just enough light at nighttime to see all parts of the memorial and enough darkness surrounding to catch both memorials on either side from the WW2 monument.
