Recently opened and long overdue, the National World War II Memorial located at the
National Mall honors the 16 million Americans who served in the armed forces during the Great War. More than 400,000 Americans lost their lives in this epic battle for freedom, while millions of Americans at home worked hard to support the war effort. This memorial, which was opened and dedicated in 2004, pays tribute to the country's greatest generations who answered the call of duty in her darkest hour.
The memorial is located between the
Washington Monument &
Lincoln Memorial and open everyday except for Christmas. Inscriptions and excerpts from key speeches and addresses are featured around the memorial to help bring this key era in American history to life.
