We don’t have to guess what visitors to DC think because we have watched how they moved through memorials. Washington DC is one of the most visited cities in the country because it’s packed with American history and culture. Home to some of the most iconic buildings, DC Monuments, and memorials globally, this city is known for honouring the fallen while still maintaining its status as the heart of democracy and freedom.
Apart from the National Mall, there are many more DC monuments like monolithic men, ghostly white temples, giant bronze birds of prey. Not to mention acres of pools that are reserved for the exclusive use of waterfowl even in the heat of the summer.
Many of DC’s most famous landmarks lay within the confines of the magnificent and world-famous National Mall. From Hollywood movies to Presidential rallies to everything in between, the long grassy mall and national parkland are some of the most instantly recognizable locations in the country.
This staggering memorial commemorates the 16 million people who served in the United States Military during the second world war and the more than 400,000 who died in battle and at home. This Memorial is a tribute to honor the soldiers’ sacrifice in the face of immeasurable adversity. Those who visit this awe-inspiring monument are moved by its grandeur and its message of commitment, spirit, and freedom represented by the 56 pillars surrounding the memorial plaza. Each acknowledges the states and territories united together during the war effort. 4,000 sculpted gold stars sit on the Freedom Wall to honour the 400,000 Americans who lost their lives. The World War II Memorial is right between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. It was opened to public in May 2004 and has become one of the essential points of interest in the National Mall since then.
This touching monument is dedicated to our 32nd President and located on the western shore of the Tidal Basin. Our guided tour through the outdoor Memorial takes you through each of Roosevelt’s four terms of office, tracing 12 years of American history as well as his presidency. The four different outdoor rooms each feature sculptures of Roosevelt in various scenes. A bronze statue of his beloved wife and first lady, Eleanor, is also there, making it the only presidential memorial to include the first lady.
