The placement of the memorial is near the intersection of 19th Street and Constitution Avenue in Constitution Gardens, which is between the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and World War II Memorial.

From that meeting came a Summary Action Plan and a Case for Support. This came from no small amount of time and valuable input. Read the full post on our website.
