"This is a very inspiring memorial both for its design, location, and the encompassing commemoration of WWII service members from all of the US military branches. The memorial is fully accessible, though the lookout is not. There is still, however, a great view from the memorial platform. You can see across the Severn River to the Naval Academy. There are two parking areas and more than usual handicap spaces available. The names of all the fallen servicemen and women inscribed on the large marble stones is an impactful, emotional testament to them. A small, yet powerful tribute to them for their courage and sacrifice."

"Gorgeous little monument with a solemn feel and important message. However, its weirdly out of the way and is incredibly hard to actually find on your own, which seems to be counterproductive to the purpose of monuments in my opinion"
