America's World War II veterans have waited 59 years for a national memorial commemorating their service and sacrifice. Their wait is now over. The National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC opened on April 29th and a dedication ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 29, 2004.
The Memorial Day weekend celebration on the National Mall will culminate an 11-year effort to honor America’s World War II generation. The memorial was authorized by Congress in 1993. Construction began in September 2001 after several years of fund raising and public hearings.
The official dedication celebration will run over Memorial Day weekend 2004 from May 27 through May 30. The events include a World War II Reunion exhibition on the National Mall, an interfaith celebration at the Washington National Cathedral, and an entertainment salute to WWII veterans from military performing units.
