that is on the north side of the Capitol building.

The Memorial has a pillar for each branch of the military services--flying its flag above--and Lady Liberty at the top is holding a tobacco leaf!

Major engagements of each of the wars are listed on the bronze plaques on each of three sides dedicated to WW I, WW II, and the Korean War.

The inscription at the base of the center column reads

WW I

WW II

Korean War
