Virginia, George Washington's home state.
Because there have been "war memorials" since time began; Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, man has nearly always made some sort of memorial to something or another. No different in the US, there are war memorials to every war the US has ever fought...mostly of course located in the regions that those conflicts were fought. But Vietnam was such a heartache (and headache) to America...that everybody (to include the men that fought it) wanted to forget it; forget all that happened over there. It didn't exist! But then a Vietnam Veteran strove to have the memorial made; and since everybody wanted to forget it (Vietnam), he wanted to ensure that the men weren't forgotten...so he put every single name of every single man upon that wall that perished in Vietnam. Most, if not all, US war memorials didn't do that, they just memorialized the conflict itself, or the branch of service...such as the US Marine Corps memorial (statue of Marines and one US Navy corpsman raising the flag on Mount Suribachi in WWII). But to have over 58,000 complete names engraved in stone...nationally...was somewhat new; apparently, this was the emotional part. But beyond the obvious emotions of the Vietnam War, the special nature of the Vietnam War Memorial on the Mall in Washington DC is that it functions on a number of unexpected visual and spatial allegorical levels which prompt our emotions in variety of ways. The siting of the memorial, its plan layout, the materials used, the descent into the depths of the memorial and the rising out of it, the sombre color of the stone slabs, the way the shiny slabs reflect the visitors' images -- as though to emphasize that the dead were Americans just like us, the dignity that is implied by the careful carving of each name in the memorial walls, the grouping together of all the names of the deceased on one long wall, the manner in which one wing of the memorial points toward the Washington Monument while the other wing points toward the Lincoln Memorial, the statues which are separate from the memorial which imply the lonely efforts of those who served in Vietnam -- all these, and more, combine to wrest from the Visitor a surprisingly unexpected array of emotions, among which are a combined sense of Loss, Sorrow, Pride, and Respect for all those who served in Vietnam, and especially for those whose names are emblazoned on the Wall, who, in the words of Lincoln, as carved on the walls of the nearby Lincoln Memorial, "...gave the last full measure of devotion...". Indeed, a visit to the Vietnam Memorial is a profoundly moving experience for any American. It reminds us of the debt we all owe, not only to those who served and died in Vietnam, but to all those Americans, living and dead, who serve and die in distant lands for Love of Country, and to protect the freedoms of their loved ones, as well as the freedoms of generations of American to come, Americans whom they will never know, but who will never forget their selfless sacrifice.
"Freedom Is Not Free" is engraved on the segment of wall that extends into the pool area of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC.
It is a monument and a memorial, and both words have considerable overlap in meaning. In short, it's called the 'Washington Monument' because the people who proposed, designed and constructed it, gave it that name.

are there any x words in Washington state?
In memorial of two of the greatest words in the lexicon of yesterday and today, let us look to the Websters Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary and remember the words as they have been defined. If our readers would bow their heads in solemn memory of the word memorial which is at first defined by our dictionary of Webster's as something that keeps remembrance alive then says its a monument! It was this dual nature to our beloved word memorial that we remember here today. And we have come here today not just to remember memorials but monuments as well which the great book by Webster's points out that in days of yore that word meant quite simply a burial vault, but monument had evolved with the English language as a whole and such definitions became obsolete. But a monument could mean a legal document like the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus or The Constitution of the United States, but we like to remember the word for its simple clarity as meaning a lasting evidence, example or reminder, of someone or something of something notable or great. So in this modern day of high speed connections that allow us to zoom along on this super information highway we lament and mourn the clarity once used that is now so confusing. In times like this we sometimes feel the pain is so great that we can not bear it. These words in someway are gone but not forgotten. And we choose to remember the goodness these words stand for. So, when we go to Washington D.C. and take in the sights, we understand what we are looking at when we look at the Washington Monument or the Jefferson Memorial. Washington nor Jefferson are buried at these sites and if one wanted to be particular with the words then one could argue that even so, The Washington Monument stands as remembrance of George Washington where the Jefferson Memorial stands as a memorial to Jefferson. If we go to their graves we can know that the gravestone is their monument and the inscription their memorial with out too much confusion and yet, it is the English language we are talking about and there is always room for confusion.
