• Korean War Veterans Memorial

  At the end of the Korean War, a million and a half American veterans returned to a country long reluctant to view the Korean War as something to memorialize. But to the men and women who served, the Korean War could never be a forgotten war. This memorial honors these individuals.

• Liberty Memorial Museum of WWI

  The museum has remained faithful to the initial objective: to collect, preserve and intepret the physical objects of World War One. The Liberty Memorial Museum is acknowledged as the only public museum in the United States dedicated solely to the history of World War One.

• National WWII Memorial

  Construction of this memorial is on schedule for completion in the spring of 2004.

• Vietnam Veterans Memorial

  The Memorial serves as a testament to the sacrifice of American military personnel during one of this nation's least popular wars. The purpose of this memorial is to separate the issue of the sacrifices of the veterans from the U.S. policy in the war, thereby creating a venue for reconciliation. The Wall is for healing.

• Virtual Wall

  For those who cannot visit the Wall, this is the next best thing. This site also has a place to leave a remembrance and an excellent search engine to locate information about a person on the Wall.
