On April 29, 2004, as a service and tribute to members of the World War II Generation, the National World War II Memorial opened for public viewing, exactly one month prior to the formal Dedication Ceremony taking place May 29, 2004. The World War II Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during the Second World War. The memorial, established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. The Second World War is the only 20th-century event commemorated on the Mall's central axis.

Don't forget that you can watch the dedication today!! God Bless all of our Veterans & Active Duty!!!

Mrs. Cut loves chocolate...especially Russel Stover's. Can't say I disagree with her, either.

I know a woman with "issues" when I see one...Her attitude and words toward you were over the top..She is not worth your time or your attention...

There will be corrections fom time to time in our freedoms of expression...There was a time when married couples on film had to be depicted as each sleeping in a twin bed in movies....

They went too far in censorship...now its anything goes..and people clamor for censorship again...We won't go back to twin beds for married couples!

I have a very fast remote clicker...if I don't like it ,I change channels.
