“…HERE WILL RISE A FITTING STRUCTURE, A SYMBOL OF DEVOTED PATRIOTISM AND UNSELFISH SERVICE. WE IN AMERICA DO NOT BUILD MONUMENTS TO WAR:
WE DO NOT BUILD MONUMENTS TO CONQUESTS; WE BUILD MONUMENTS TO
COMMEMORATE THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE IN WAR, REMINDERS OF OUR DESIRE FOR
PEACE."
--President Franklin D. Roosevelt on October 14th 1936,
at the dedication of the Memorial.
In the Museum are two museum galleries which contain a collection of
military-related objects of both local and national historical
significance, such as photographs, posters and printed materials,
uniforms, flags, medals, firearms, edged weapons, and a range of
war-time memorabilia from both the battlefront and the homefront.
Also in the area: If you have time, St. Louis is known for it's incredible number of
great Italian restaurants, many of which are "on the Hill," a short
ride from this Memorial.
