A must stop to reflect on those who sacrificed for us to be. Amazing views the monument is beautiful. Visited on a Saturday around 915. It was a bit busy. Very grateful to all those who serve and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The World War II Memorial pays tribute to the 16 million members of the US Armed Forces who served during the war, as well as the countless millions who supported the war effort on the home front, and the 405,399 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice. You can sit and enjoy the sunset from here and it was breath taking. You can see the Lincoln Memorial and the Monument very nicely from here.

An opportunity to pay respects to those who have come before us is an honor. The World War II Memorial is a striking monument located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., dedicated to honoring the 16 million people who served in the armed forces of the United States during World War II, including the more than 400,000 who gave their lives. The memorial features a central plaza with a large fountain surrounded by 56 pillars representing the U.S. states and territories, as well as two arches representing the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of the war. It's a powerful and solemn tribute to the sacrifices made during one of the most significant events in world history.

An impressive wheelchair-accessible architectural feature that made me pray for an end to all wars. The memorial has the names of all States etched on massive 17-foot granite pillars around a plaza with two triumphal arches breaking the array of pillars with beautiful symmetry. The pools and water features contrast the epic Kershaw Granite and add both contemplative and celebratory notes. Some of the walls have detailed action scenes from struggles. At a distance, one can see the Lincoln Memorial.

We were here during Easter Vacation and there was tens of Thousands of visitors, which made it a bit difficult to enjoy much peace here, but it’s still worth seeing anyway. I also made sure and took photos of the beautiful series of bronze sculptures on the walls walking down towards the fountain. It’s a beautiful and touching story. I’ve included them all here. Please take the time and ponder the profound story.
