    The World War II Memorial is very large, 7.4-acres to be exact! The memorial is made up of 56 granite pillars, each 17 feet tall. There is an amazing amount of landscaping and water in the fountain here as well.

        Interesting execution of the monument: in my eyes with pretty much the right amount of pathos, heroism, but also humility in front of the victims. The idea of fighting together is also well implemented.
