Description
An account of the resource
A beautiful but often overlooked commemoration in Washington, D.C. is the Sisters and Nuns of the Civil War memorial near Dupont Circle (Nuns of the Battlefield). Funded by the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians in 1924, it honors the various orders who served the sick, wounded and imprisoned in the struggle between the states. The inscription at the top of the memorial reads “They comforted the dying, Nursed the wounded, carried hope to the imprisoned, gave in His name a drink of water to the thirsty.” A bronze relief panel provides depictions of sisters of the different orders who provided service during the war and below the panels another inscription reads: “To the memory and in honor of The Various Orders of Sisters who gave their services as nurses on battlefields and in hospitals during the Civil War.” At each end of the granite cenotaph sits female figures representing patriotism (with the shield) and peace (with wings). This memorial remembers a small group who provided wonderful service during war without engaging in the fighting.

Description
An account of the resource
Along the mall resides this Doric temple which was dedicated in 1936 to honor all those from Washington who served in the military during World War I. The small temple was conceived as a bandstand and used in first half of the century during holiday celebrations such as the Fourth of July. It is comprised of Vermont marble and around the top of the rotunda is etched the words of dedication to all those who served in the armed forces. Around the base are inscribed the names of the more than 500 who lost their lives. Within the cornerstone are sealed the names of the 26,000 Americans who served in the World War I. The funds for this memorial were raised with voluntary contributions from Washingtonians.

Description
An account of the resource
This stunning memorial in Washington, D.C. honors Japanese Americans who fought in World War II as well as those who were held in relocation camps during the war. The memorial is set within a beautiful landscaped plaza with a small pond. The memorial is composed of granite walls inscribed with quotations from Japanese Americans as well as from those who honor their experience and the triumph of justice. There are panels with the names of each relocation camp and the number of people held in each camp. There are also specific tributes to the 100th Battalion, the 442 Regimental Combat Team, and Military Intelligence Service -- all of which were composed of Japanese Americans. Prominently featured and rising above he granite panels is a lovely sculpture of two cranes atop a green marble base. The cranes are nestled together with one wing each raised skyward and supporting each other. The remaining wing for each bird is held to the base by barbed wire out of which they are attempting to break free.

Description
An account of the resource
This granite gateway on the ellipse honors the U.S. Army's Second Division. In the gateway opening resides a dramatic 18-foot tall gilded flaming sword that is held by a large right hand. The sword bears the insignia of the Second Division -- an Indian head. Flanking the gateway are two walls on which are etched the two laurel wreaths and the names of the battles and campaigns in which the Divison participated and at the top of the arch over the gateway it simply reads "The Second Division". All lettering is gilded. The Memorial was originally conceived after World War I and the Divisions contributions in the conflict and the center of the Memorial represents the Division's defense of the city of Paris. Two low walls extend farther out and end in eagle-topped flagpoles. The memorial honors all those fallen heroes of the Division from the World War I, World War II, and Korea.

This large white stone monument topped by a figure of woman with her head bowed honors the 22 women killed when the Washington Arsenal exploded on June 17, 1864. The Arsenal sat in what today is the Navy Yard. Sparks from a nearby explosion set off the large explosion in the arsenal that killed the women. Sixteen are buried here together although 8 were never identified; two more ladies are buried in family plots within the cemetery. The funeral procession in the capitol was massive and heady by President Lincoln and Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War.
