二战纪念碑

林肯纪念堂附近有很多战争纪念碑，用以缅怀牺牲的官兵。包括朝鲜战争纪念碑、越南战争纪念碑、第二次世界大战纪念碑等。在我看来，除了二战外，朝鲜战争、越南战争美国都是主动发起战争的挑衅者和入侵者，又不是被欺负的一方，有啥值得同情和哀悼的？图片中是朝鲜战争纪念碑的照片，晃眼像僵尸一般的雕像，代表了19个参与朝鲜战争的美国同盟国。

圆形广场，半边环绕着柱子，每根柱子代表美国的一个州，上有花环，用来纪念二战伤亡将士。华盛顿的几个战争纪念都在城区核心处：二次世界大战，朝鲜战争和越南战争

这个纪念馆参观的队伍排得很长,但等待是有意义的。对于在第二次世界大战中参战的士兵,这个国家亏欠的太多太多了,这里是对他们贡献的肯定。这里让人反思,让人铭记。漂亮的格局,宏伟的建筑,以及纪念馆承载的意义对国家广场和国家遗产而言,都是难以分割的一部分。

这个非常难忘。非常新,你能感受到这里刚刚开始接待客人。所以我感觉这个纪念馆并没有一种很深沉的历史沉淀感。我认为假以时日这里肯定能成长为一个更好的历史纪念馆,尤其是向那些参加过战役的老兵致敬。

在我祖母去世前,她把她能省下的所有的钱都捐到了二战基金会,以便能使她的哥哥的名字可以出现在二战纪念碑的登记表上。他没有活那么久,没有看到事情完成。我们是第一次来,怀着很大的期望,但是却对这个纪念馆缺少人性化感到极端失望。虽然建筑的本身印象深刻,非常壮观。但是所有的战争英雄,本该是被雕刻在纪念碑上,却被输入到了计算机数据库中。我们被告知的是要把名字都雕刻在纪念碑上要花太多的时间。所以,游览者不能够看着雕刻的名字回忆和缅怀,他们只能把要找的人的名字输进电脑,等着信息出现在电脑屏幕上。以这样的方式向最伟大的一代人和他们的巨大付出致敬实在是不合适。此外,我们还被告知,数据库和纪念馆也包括了那些在战争中提供过帮助的人,包括了那些中西部的农民和在后方的美国女工们。虽然他们的贡献也值得注意,我不相信他们也赢得了把自己列入战争英雄的权利。这个纪念馆整个设计和实行方案让我为奶奶感到伤心,也对英雄们没有得到留名感到伤心。

它每根柱子上面都刻画了美国各个州的名字，然后上面有麦子和橄榄枝的环，意思是寓意和平吧。其实整个公园不大，看起来就像一个喷水池一样。

For me, this was the most moving memorial this visit. While explaining the significance to my kids we came upon an older gentleman who served in the war that was visiting the memorial for the first time. Seeing his reaction to the memorial put it all into perspective for my children and my husband and I. Very beautifully done.

The WW2 memorial didn't open till only a few years ago and why it took so long to show respect to those who served not sure. If you are walking from the Washington monument down to see the Lincoln this will be your first stop and worth the time. Spend at least 30-60 minutes walking around the water, state names, etc. This was one of the greatest generations that gave their lives to allow us to live everyday free, they deserve your respect.

While not as moving as the Vietnam Memorial (what is?) or the Korean War Memorial, the WWII Memorial is certainly worth the time to experience as one takes in the Mall.

this is on the mall and it is very well done, it represents all of the fronts and list all of the soldiers by state; it is a nice tribute to the veterans of WWII.

The memorial is a remarkable mark of respect. It also bought sadness to see families grieve there. I liked the peaceful atmosphere and the fact that the names of individuals are displayed.

This is the 3rd time I've been to this memorial and it still misses the mark for me and my father was a WWII veteran. It just isn't pulled together as a memorial. Each state has a vertical granite "stand" and there are two towers that are labeled "Atlantic" and "Pacific". That's it. Even the wall honoring the Gold Star Mothers (those that lost their sons in the war) isn't connected. This is a poor memorial to what is called "the greatest generation". Skip it. There are ways to remember this people living and dead without this memorial.

My Stepfather dreamed of seeing this monument. The veterans administration has programs for the veterans but they cannot transport my mother with him. Ed Perlmutter's office helped me plan his special visit. Their office had limitations but provided me with information I could use. This special place was a memory that our family will never forget. A National Parks ranger, Creama Krop, came up to him and asked him to tell some stories of WWII. After listening she announced to the crowd, We have a WWII veteran in our presence, let's honor him and thank him as the crowd clapped she gave a special salute. Tears in our families eyes and memories.

Beautiful memorial with beautiful fountains. Centrally located among the other memorials. Especially beautiful at sunset.

Atlantic to pacific and all the states in between depicted in stone. You can find your ancestor if they were registered as being in ww2.Rangers there to help.
