A Memorable Memorial Day with DC’s Newest WWI Sculpture

This Memorial Day, bring your family to visit the newest war memorial in Washington, DC – the National World War I Memorial.

This modern memorial, next to the White House, centers on a monumental sculpture titled “A Soldier’s Journey“. It depicts a father’s path from home to war, coming back transformed.

A Soldier's Journey

Over 116,000 American soldiers died in this war, and 204,000 were wounded. These Doughboys deserve to have their sacrifice remembered.

This weekend, visit this memorial to remember the fallen, as well as those who returned home as different men.

The memorial is easily accessible by car or Metro, open 24 hours a day, and free.
