∙ 12y agoThe National World War 2 Memorial of the USA is located in Washington, DC. Many artists submitted their ideas for the memorial. Frederich St. Florian's design was chosen but altered somewhat to accommodate the site and additions wanted for the memorial. It took over 11 years to go from the time of government approval to the dedication of the monument. It is a very stunning monument. See the link below for many of the outstanding features of the monument. It is a must see if you ever get to WA DC.
