THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Gray-
haired war veterans sat in quiet
reflection. Tourists came by to qui
etly say thanks. Schoolchildren on
field trips crowded around asking
for autographs. Decades in the
planning, the National World War
II Memorial opened to the public
Thursday.
Under brilliant spring sun
shine, visitors of all ages streamed
in to Uxtk at Washington’s newest
memorial and to pay their respects
to those who served during one of
the country’s most difficult and
triumphant periods.
The memorial, which sits
prominently between the
Washington Monument and the
Lincoln Memorial on the National
Mall, was long overdue but worth
the waiL some vets said.
“It is beautiful,” declared
George Lynch, an 81-year-old
former Marine from
Washington. “To see this
memorial after all these years is
absolutely marvelous."
Lynch was accompanied by
another World War II Marine.
William “Abby” Abernathy, 91,
also of Washington.
“So many people have
stopped both Abbv and me and
said thank you," Lynch said. “1
can hardly talk about this with
out my eyes watering up. It real
ly touches you."
The granite-and-bronze mon
ument features waterfalls, foun
tains, and a curved wall bedecked
with gold stars representing the
more than 4(X),(XX) who gave
their lives in the war. It has two
hulking 43-foot arches at each
end, one marked Atlantic and the
other Pacific. They symbolize the
two theaters of the war.
Fifty-six smaller granite pil
lars adorned with two bronze
wreaths form the oval shape of
the memorial and encircle a
sunken plaza and pool. Each pil
lar in engraved with the name of a
state or territory from that period.
While the formal dedication
ceremony is a month away, proj
ect organizers raced to put the fin
ishing touches on the memonj
so the ever-dwindling number of
World War II veterans could
come to see it as soon as possible
World War II vets arc dying i
a rate of 1.056 a day, the Veterans
Affairs Department estimates
Fewer than 4 million of the If
million who served will bealivei
the time of the May 29 dedication
Fred Smith of Rockville,
Md.. served in the Army Aj
Corps, which later became the
Air Force. He said the memonal
is a grand tribute. “There are an
awful lot of guys who 1 kneu
that are gone now, but they
w ould have loved this," he said
Another veteran, Henn
Wilayto. said the size of the
memorial —which stretches the
length of a football field —was
especially fitting.
“I think it’s far more than!
thought they w ere going to do,'
said Wilayto. a former Arm
staff sergeant from Concord,
Mass. “I thought it would be a
real small one, but they’ve gone
completely into the depths that
they should have.”
Among the first in line on
opening day were hundreds of
schoolchildren from Newtown,
Conn., and Toledo, Ohio-
some of whom had grandfattes
who served in the war.
The $174 million memorial
was almost two decades in the
making.
Legislation was introduced in
1987 hy Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-
Ohio, who was prompted by an
encounter with World War II
veteran Roger Durbin. In front
of a crowd at a political event.
Durbin asked Kaptur why there
was no World War II memorial.
Together, they worked to get
legislation passed so the memo
rial could be built.
Congress gave its approval in
1993. but that was followed by
court challenges from critics who
claimed the monument would
clutter the Mall and interfere witli
sweeping vistas long enjoyed by
visitors. Construction began in
late 2001.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Bush, Cheney recount efforts to
thwart terrorism
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to shape history’s judgment,
President Bush told the Sept. 11 commission Thursday his
administration tried to protect America from terrorists as
warnings grew before the devastating attack of 2001
Members pressed him on his response to a controversial
memo that raised the threat of plane hijackings and attacks
with explosives.
“I answered every question they asked,” Bush said after he
and Vice President Dick Cheney met with the 10-member
commission for three hours in the Oval Office. Presidential
scholars called the session unprecedented.
Some of Bush’s answers were “surprising" and “new,” said
former Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Democratic member, but he
declined to give details. On Bush’s demand, the questioning
was done behind closed doors without a transcriber to make
an official record, and the president refused to discuss the
substance of the discussions.
