Perfectly situated between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, this beautiful memorial honors the generation of Americans who served in World War II. You'll find yourself surrounded by 56 granite pillars representing the unity of the states and territories, with grand arches celebrating victory in the Atlantic and Pacific. The central fountain and the solemn Freedom Wall, with its thousands of gold stars, create a powerful space for reflection on the price of freedom, offering a peaceful and moving experience day or night.
