National World War 1 Memorial at Pershing Park

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

100c 100m wwi centennial plaque The National World War I Memorial in Pershing Park, currently under construction, will educate the American people, and visitors from abroad, about the significance of World War I in American and world history, and honor the accomplishments of a forgotten generation of Americans. The memorial will have a rightful place alongside the memorials in Washington to the other great wars of the 20th century. The WWI Memorial will be located within Pershing Park on Pennsylvania Avenue, one block from the White House. The park honors Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of American troops in the war. Joseph Weishaar, a graduate from the University of Arkansas School of Architecture, won an international competition to adapt the park landscape, designed by noted American architect M. Paul Friedberg, to accommodate a World War I memorial.  On April 16, 2021, the Inaugural Raising of the Flag of the United States over the memorial site was celebrated with a live broadcast event.

Cours Dajot
29200 Brest
Bretagne
France

The World War I Naval Monument at Brest, France stands on the ramparts of the city overlooking the harbor which was a major base of operations for American naval vessels during the war. The original monument built on this site to commemorate the achievements of the U.S. Navy during World War I was destroyed by the Germans on July 4, 1941, prior to the United States' entry into World War II. The present structure is a replica of the original and was completed in 1958.

Brest is the westernmost port of France. Its location and activities there have been vital in commerce and conflicts over the centuries. Brest was especially important to many missions of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during 1917 and 1918.

The monument is a rectangular rose colored granite shaft rising 145 feet above the lower terrace and 100 feet above the Cours Dajot. It sits upon a German bunker complex at the approximate site of the original monument. All four sides of the monument are decorated with sculpture of naval interest. The surrounding area has been developed by the American Battle Monuments Commission into an attractive park. The Naval Monument at Brest displays this inscription in both English and French:

Erected by the United States of America to commemorate the achievements of the naval forces of the United States and France during the world war.
