| 內容簡介: |
Assuming its rightful place of honor on the National Mall
between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the World
War II Memorial is an eloquent and moving tribute to “The Greatest
Generation.” Sixteen million Americans served in the armed
forces—more than 400,000 gave their lives—and millions supported
the war effort from home, all in the name of protecting that which
we, as Americans, hold most dear: freedom.
The World War II Memorial, published in conjunction with the
dedication of this long-overdue memorial, commemorates the everyday
Americans who in countless ways rose up to defeat one of history''s
gravest threats to freedom. Veterans—including George H.W. Bush,
Sen. Daniel Inouye, former senators Bob Dole and George McGovern,
Yogi Berra, and many, many others—contribute their own personal
stories while leading historians look at the military campaigns of
the war. The memorial''s architect and its sculptor provide insights
into how it symbolizes the fortitude and perseverance of a
generation, and the exclusive photographs present the memorial
through all stages of construction. Fittingly, this historic
tribute falls in the 60th anniversary year of D-Day, a time when
our nation once again reflects on its greatest sacrifice and
greatest victory in the name of freedom.
