The U.S. National World War II Memorial, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is a National Memorial dedicated to Americans who served in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II. It consists of 56 pillars and a pair of arches surrounding a plaza and fountain, as well as 24 bronze bas-relief panels that depict wartime scenes of combat and the home front. Two-thirds of the 7.4-acre site is landscaping and water. Each pillar is inscribed with the name of one of the 48 U.S. states of 1945, as well as the District of Columbia, the Alaska Territory and Territory of Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The northern arch is inscribed with "Atlantic"; the southern one, "Pacific." http://www.nps.gov/wwii/historyculture/index.htm
