At one end of the pond of reflection, echoing the Lincoln Memorial, and the Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, constitute a war memorial. There are half a circle of granite stone monuments lined up at a time, like a wreath.
Washington's three war memorials, this World War II Memorial Square is also the largest in the scope, World War II monument can also see many bad architectural projects, the monument is also an annual commemoration event.
The service of the little brother who brought the game is super good, and will seriously introduce us to the specific play strategy, the experience is excellent
The environment is clean and tidy, and it is a place worth visiting.
The National World War II Memorial (National WWII Memorial) is next to the Reflection Pool (Reflecting Pool), in the middle of the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, as the name implies, to commemorate the American servicemen during World War II. In the center are pools and fountains, surrounded by pillars engraved with the names of every US state or overseas territory during World War II. It is inevitable that Japan would not have surrendered so quickly if it had not been for the atomic bombs that the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don't know what the Japanese people will feel when they visit this monument.
Friends, rest assured! The people here are wrong, and the traffic is very convenient, everyone can come and experience!
