I am in D.C. now and as walking through the mall area with 3 others, I noticed this and we all went to see it. You are right about the condition and I wish that there was more upkeeping with this monument as there is with others, as it is just as much a part of our history. I did notice the restroom next to the monument (that i would bet is rarley used) being cleaned, but no one else around this monument.

I am pleased that you each discovered the DC War Memorial. As some of you noted, it is in extreme disrepair, and it is hidden away and is forgotten and neglected by residents and visitors to Washington. I and others have recently formed a foundation to advocate and raise funds for the restoration of this memorial, and for re-dedication of that site as a true national World War I memorial. We are just getting off the ground, but if you would like to contribute, you can send a check to World War I Memorial Foundation, 401 F Street N.W. Room 324, Washington DC 20001, or on-line at http://www.dcpreservation.org/WWI .

While on a recent tour of the US, of which Washington, DC, was the main focal point, we were walking from the WWII Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, and passed by this lonely little monument. In fact, the other 5 people in our group never noticed it at all!!! I’m the picture-taker, and am usually tagging along at the rear snapping photos of everything that catches my fancy. I noticed a lonely little duck sitting in the grass and stopped to take her picture, when I looked up and spotted this lovely little monument. I called to the others to come back and look at it. I didn’t realize that it was just dedicated to Washington citizens, but regardless, felt that it was a shame that it was in such a state of repair, and so obviously neglected. But on the other hand, it was probably THE singularly most peaceful monument we visited on the entire trip! I wish that ALL wars could be as long ago and as “forgotten” as WWI is becoming.

We travelled over 8,000 miles of your country on our trip this year, and think you live in an amazing country!!

My family and I went to D.C. to see a Nationals game. Instead we spent the weekend observing the memorials and such. We were on our way to the car. We cut through the woods on a path, and my 5 year old son stopped. He asked to go see this old building. We had walked past it several times. Considering he was bored and tired, this surprised me. We walked over and read the plaque, if you could call it that. We never knew this thing existed, but are really glad we saw it.

I will be in D.C. in August and I will be visiting this Memorial. I had never seen it until I Googled WWI memorials. It is so beautiful and I want to see it up close. My grandfather was a WWI verteran; he fought in the Argonne forest in France. And, even though, it is dedicated to Washingtionians, I feel as if it is a honor to him. Thanks so much for the picture.

We just finished disk 2 of Battlestar Galactica season 4… is it just me or does this season seem even more depressing the previous 3?
