World War II Memorial

Honoring the WWII veterans

About

More a tribute than a typical museum, this open-air memorial honors the 16 million who served in World War II. Its 56 pillars and central fountain create a contemplative space on the National Mall. Queer veterans and allies alike find its message of shared sacrifice resonant.
