It is just not in Washington DC, so not as well known. the Liberty Memorial was built in 1921. Information can be found out about it here: http://www.theworldwar.org/s/110/display.aspx?pgid=886 This is a beautiful and moving monument to the sacrifice of all who served. The base of the Liberty Tower states it best: “In honor of those who served in the world war in defense of liberty and our country.” It is unfortunate that most Americans don't even know that it exists.
