West Islip Public Library

Virtual Room - Adult Reference

Join a professional historical interpreter to explore how the evolutions of America's war and veterans memorials came to be.

Who gets remembered in our nation's capital? The history of America's war and veterans memorials is more recent than many people realize, and the ways we commemorate our service men and women have evolved as our understanding of conflict has changed. Join a professional historical interpreter to explore how these evolutions are visible on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
