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.

A very moving memorial. This is a very peaceful place with a feeling of solemn grandiosity befitting the scale of the devastation and the all encompassing nature of the world at war. It gave me pause even while I moved through crowds of tourists while on my way to find relief from the tiredness of a long day of walking. Truly beautiful

Beautiful memorial on the mall in DC. On one side you can see the Lincoln memorial and the other the Washington monument. There is a big fountain in the middle, in the summer when it runs its great, and areas to walk around. Lots of other great sites all around. Definitely recommend if you are checking out DC!

It was truly amazing even though it was cold, and there was no water in the fountain. Just the visual of the gold stars representing all the people who died for the cause of freedom. They truly were the greatest generation. It will be a long time before we witness that greatest again if we ever do.
