The memorial is a 20-foot high globe split in two to symbolize a world divided by war between the Pacific and European Theaters.
The steel globe is overlaid with bronze oceans and copper continents. The pathway through its interior does not lead past a geologic cross-section, but between walls hung with lists of the 527 Chatham County residents killed during the war.
Visitors to the war-cracked earth will be challenged by the tourist traffic, one-way streets, cobble stoned roads, and limited parking but will be rewarded with one of the newest WWII memorials, dedicated in late 2010.
