Рассказ о the washington monument in washington d.c. заранее .

Яточно не уверена april 29, 2004, the national  world war ii  memorial opens in  washington, d.c., to thousands of visitors, providing overdue recognition for the 16 million u.s. men and women who served in the war. the memorial is located on 7.4 acres on the former site of the rainbow pool at the national mall between the washington monument and the lincoln memorial. the capitol dome is seen to the east, and arlington cemetery is just across the potomac river to the west.the granite and bronze monument features fountains between arches symbolizing hostilities in europe and the far east. the arches are flanked by semicircles of pillars, one each for the states, territories and the district of columbia. beyond the pool is a curved wall of 4,000 gold stars, one for every 100 americans killed in the war.  an announcement stone proclaims that the memorial honors those "americans who took up the struggle during the second world war and made the sacrifices to perpetuate the gift our forefathers entrusted to us: a nation conceived in liberty and justice." though the federal government donated $16 million to the memorial fund, it took more than $164 million in private donations to get it built. former  kansas  sen. bob dole, who was severely wounded in the war, and actor tom hanks were among its most vocal supporters. only a fraction of the 16 million americans who served in the war would ever see it. four million world war ii veterans were living at the time, with more than 1,100 dying every day, according to government records. the memorial was inspired by roger durbin of berkey,  ohio, who served under gen. george s. patton. at a fish fry near toledo in february 1987, he asked u.s. rep. marcy kaptur why there was no memorial on the mall to honor world war ii veterans. kaptur, a democrat from ohio, soon introduced legislation to build one, starting a process that would stumble along  through 17 years of legislative, legal and artistic entanglements. durbin died of pancreatic cancer in 2000. the monument was formally dedicated may 29, 2004, by u.s. president  george w. bush. open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it received some 4.4 million visitors in 2005.
