National World War II Memorial
Dedicated in 2004 by President George W. Bush, the National World War II Memorial is a tribute to the Armed Forces of the United States that served in one of the most important conflicts of the 20th century. Visitors can walk around the Rainbow Pool, which is flanked by two semi-circles of granite pillars and triumphal arches. Located on 17th Street, between Constitution and Independence Avenues, the National World War II Memorial is flanked by the Washington Monument to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.
