About This Memorial
The National WWI Memorial in Washington D.C. commemorates the service and sacrifice of 4.7 million Americans who served in World War I, including the 116,516 who died. It honors their heroism through a design featuring a central sculpture called 'Soldier's Journey' and a peaceful plaza space. The memorial was completed after overcoming pandemic-related challenges, with its First Illumination Ceremony marking the final installation of the sculpture. This memorial finally gives proper national recognition to WWI veterans in the nation's capital, acknowledging their pivotal role in defending liberty.
