NATIONAL WWII MEMORIAL

    A National WWII Memorial was finally built in Washington D.C. This is the first WW II memorial dedicated to all who served during World War II. It honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front and the nation at large.

It is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. at the Rainbow Pool site at the east end of the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

The memorial was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 1995, and accepted by President George W. Bush, at a formal ceremony, during a four day celebration. Groundbreaking was held on Veterans Day 2000. The memorial was funded almost entirely by private contributions.
