Virtual Tour of the National WWI Memorial in Washington D.C. & Construction Update
This is a great opportunity to get an insider perspective on this important project. We are practicing all CDC Covid-19 protocols and are fortunate to be able to continue to build the Memorial in our Nation’s Capital to honor our WWI Veterans for generations to come.
You’ll meet Joe Weishaar, lead designer for the memorial whose international design competition entry was selected from 360 entries. Joe will walk you through the approved design.
Free Keepsake Design Document
You’ll receive a digital copy of an 80-page design document that tells you everything about the Memorial.
