Help now, please A Tour of the World War II Memorial

1 The National World War II Memorial stands on the National Mall in Washington, D. C. It recognizes the contributions all Americans made toward achieving victory in the war.
2 The first things you notice at the memorial are the 54 columns. There is one column for every state and territory in the United States at the time of World War II. These columns are linked with bronze ropes, showing how all Americans came together to support the war effort.
3 As you walk into the memorial, you can see the Rainbow Pool. This is a fountain with nozzles that create a perfect rainbow. The fountain was built before World War II and it was so beautiful that the architects decided to include it in the memorial.
4 As you walk around the memorial, you will see brass plaques telling the story of World War II. Most tell about the experiences of soldiers, workers, and medical staff during the war. Some show images from major battles, like Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Bulge. One shows the women who worked in aircraft factories and another pictures farmers who helped feed the troops.
5 The most solemn part of the memorial is the wall of stars. When you look at it, remember that each gold star represents about 100 Americans who gave their lives. Altogether, the 4,048 stars represent the more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians who were killed in the war.
6 The memorial is not meant to be sad. It is a symbol of the strength of the American people when they all come together. It shows the choices and sacrifices made by the people of the United States to protect themselves and others.
