Located next to the New York State Museum, this stirring memorial to those who served in World War II stands in striking contrast to many of the others.
Rather than creating a contemplative environment, it evokes the feelings of unrest and agitation which were characteristic of the war. Curved granite copings encircling the right half of the pool are inscribed with significant dates, places, and battles that occurred in the European theater, such as the Invasion of Normandy (D-Day) and the Battle of the Bulge, while the left half represents the Pacific theater, including Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and Iwo Jima. The water in the pool will be kept in constant turbulent motion.

Beautiful
We visited in October 2021. Beautiful memorial with lots of not immediately visible parts to read. Make sure and walk all around it to take it all in.
This memorial is worth spending a few minutes to see. We showed it to pitter younger kids. The eagle 🦅 and fountain ⛲ are nice, but the best part is there circle border the outlines the water pool. It's ledge gives a timeline of WW2 events, which you can read in order as you walk around the pool. Very nice. Our kids liked spotting events which they have learned about in school 🏫.
Beautiful open fountain and memorial to our great troops in WW II
