They added a "Killroy was Here" cartoon to a small spot on the back side of one wall (I believe). I couldn't find it. When you visit it, see if you can located it.
For years, most Americans believed that the statue depicting 6 US servicemen raising the flag atop Iwo Jima was the WW2 memorial; which was dedicated by President Eisenhower in 1954. However, in the 1990's the President Bill Clinton administration authorized another memorial, which was funded by federal and private monies. Construction began in 2001.
Construction of the National World War II Memorial, in Washington, D.C., started in September of 2001, and was finished in April of 2004. Millions of people visit the memorial every year.
