National World War II Memorial in Washington DC — view 2
The National World War II Memorial is a significant tribute to the 16 million Americans who served in the armed forces during World War II. Opened in 2004, the memorial features a large circular plaza framed by 56 granite pillars representing each state and territory, along with a stunning fountain at its centre. Visiting the memorial can evoke a profound sense of reflection, particularly in the evening when the lights illuminate the water. It’s best to come early in the morning or after sunset for a quieter experience. The memorial sits between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, making it convenient to explore nearby sites.
