The Dedication of the WWII Memorial in 2004

On this day in 2004, the World War II Memorial was dedicated to honor not only the veterans who fought, but an entire generation who served at home and abroad. The home front played a vital role in the war effort, overcoming challenges such as material shortages, urgent demands for new technology, and the constant need to mobilize a vast workforce. Join a Park Ranger to explore the story of World War II and the memorial that pays tribute to the sacrifices and service of a united nation.
