National World War II Memorial
Die 2004 eröffnete Gedenkstätte, welche an die im Zweiten Weltkrieg gefallenen US-Soldaten erinnert.
Das Denkmal liegt zwischen dem Washington Monument sowie dem Reflecting Pool an der Mall und besteht aus 56 in 2 Reihen, im Halbkreis angelegte Säulen, die einen großen Springbrunnen, den Rainbow Pool, umrahmen. Jede Säule ist mit einem metallischen Kranz bestückt (Eiche und Weizen), welche einen Staat oder ein Gebiet des Landes vertritt. Jede Reihe für sich stellt die atlantischen und die pazifischen Kriegsgebiete dar.
In der Mitte des Bildes ist das Lincoln Memorial zu sehen.
Panorama aus 12 hochkant Bildern.
