The World War II Memorial in Washington, DC honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S., the more than 400,000 who died, and the millions who supported the war effort from home. An open plaza with stone architecture and bronze sculptures, the memorial features two pavilions on the north and south sides, each with bronze baldachins, bronze columns bearing American eagles, World War II victory medals, and inscriptions noting the victories in the European and Pacific theatres of operations.
