The World War II Memorial is in Washington, D.C. It is located on the National Mall. It was dedicated in 2004 by President George W. Bush. This memorial honors the 16 million people who served as part of the war, including 400,000 people who sacrificed their lives. While sitting at the fountain, in the middle of the memorial, you can see the Lincoln memorial. This memorial is made up of 56 granite pillars. Each pillar is engraved with one of names of the United States as well as the District of Columbia, Alaska Territory, Territory of Hawaii, Commonwealth of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Northern arch of the memorial represents the victory in the Atlantic. The Southern arch of the memorial represents the victory in the Pacific. I would highly recommend stopping by and admiring the beauty of this memorial.
