| 説明 | The First Division Monument sits on a plaza in President's Park, west of the White House and south of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) at the corner of 17th Street and State Place, NW., Washington (DC).(The EEOB was originally known as the State, War, and Navy Building and then as the Old Executive Office Building.) According to the National Park Service website, the monument was conceived by the Society of the First Division, the veteran's organization of the U.S. Army's First Division, to honor the valiant efforts of the soldiers who fought in World War I. Later additions to the monument commemorate the lives of First Division soldiers who fought in subsequent wars. The World War II addition on the west side was dedicated in 1957, the Vietnam War addition on the east side in 1977, and the Desert Storm plaque in 1995. Cass Gilbert was the architect of the original memorial and Daniel Chester French was the sculptor of the Victory statue.Image by Ron Cogswell March 22, 2012, using a Nikon D80 and minor Photoshop effects.DSC_0096 V1 |
