Looking over the center of the World War II Memorial towards the Lincoln Memorial; the Washington Memorial is behind me.
There are ~4000 gold stars on the wall, and each star represents 100 Americans who died in WWII.
The tower to the war in the Pacific -- Iowa and California are the two pillars immediately to the left of the tower.
The Pacific and Atlantic towers both have names of major battles carved into the base of their fountains -- the Pacific tower was particularly relevant to me since both my grandfathers were in that theater.
