Happy Anniversary to the World War II Memorial!

WWII Memorial

Happy Anniversary to the World War II Memorial! It was dedicated 10 years ago on May 29, 2004.  If you’re a history nut like we are, that date may seem surprising.. as in surprisingly late!  The dedication took place nearly 59 years after the end of World War II.

So why the long wait?  You’ll have to come on one of our tours to find out! We’ll tell you all about that, the hidden graffiti on the memorial, the meaning (and controversy!) behind the Wall of Gold Stars, and so much more.
