World War Two Memorial Washington D.C.!!!

Today marks the eighty-second anniversary of the Normandy Invasion by American and Allied forces. Last week I was able to visit a wonderful memorial that not only pays tribute to the Normandy Invasion but those who served our served during World War Two. This area is located in The National Mall and recommended to me by post-it note.

The World War Two Memorial in Washington D.C. pays tribute to those that not only served but to the nearly 405,000 individuals that lost their lives for American Freedom. It is located near the Lincoln Memorial just west of the Washington Monument. There are a total of fifty six pillars that represent the American States and U.S. Territories. There is a wall that has 4,048 gold stars which symbolizes one star for every one hundred American soldiers losts. There is a beautiful fountain in the middle called the Rainbow Fountain that you can sit and place your feet in to give respect to the soldiers of WWIi. Walking into the Memorial you'll notice bronze pictures that show tas well as one side represents the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters of World War Two . The memorial was established in 2004 and is open 24/7.

This memorial is a must when visiting Washington D.C. The architecture and design is absolutely beautiful. Seeing this in person is not only moving but provides a sense of appreciation for those who served. #ridingwithkurt #postit #worldwar2memorial
