U.S. Navy WWII Submarine Memorial in Groton Connecticut ..My uncle James's sub the Seawolf went down in October 3, 1944 in the Philippine Sea.. He left behind a wife and one son who he never saw

Post-war examination of Japanese records shows no attack listed that could account for the loss of Seawolf. While it is possible Seawolf was lost to an operational casualty or as a result of an unrecorded enemy attack, it is more likely she was sunk by friendly fire. 83 officers and men as well as 17 Army passengers were lost. She was the thirty-fourth U.S. submarine lost in the Pacific War, the second (after Dorado in the Caribbean) to friendly fire.[13] One of the Army passengers was Captain Howell S. Kopp, an Alamo Scout. Kopp was en route to an undisclosed location in the Philippines to conduct a clandestine mission in support of the upcoming allied landing on Leyte.[14][15]

On 28 December 1944, Seawolf was declared overdue from patrol and presumed lost. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 20 January 1945.

Honoring the Seabees in Washington, DC.

This is one section of a Memorial Mural in Gallup, NM honoring the Navajo Code Talkers service in WWII in the United States Marine Corps. An initial group of 29 Navajo volunteers ended up exceeding over 400 in number. The Japanese were never able to crack the code and this contributed to the success of the war in the Pacific. August 14th each year is celebrated as "National Navajo Code Talkers Day".

Regardless of which monument you think is best, there is a book documenting the monuments from the Vietnam War, titled, "Warriors Remembered", by Retired US Army Colonel Albert Nahas. He fought in the Vietnam War and spent his own time and money traveling all 50 states to make the book. It is truly an inspiration.

I know others have posted the USS Arizona memorial, but there is nothing like "manning the rails" and rendering honors.

Here is one in Tuscaloosa Alabama.

Containing 1: M60 Patton Tank
1: Willy's Jeep
1: 8.5cm AA/Artillery cannon from the USS Alabama
1: LTV A-7 Corsair
1: Bell Huey
12: Large stones filled with about 50 names on each stone, ranging from Army, Marines, Navy, Airforce. When they were born and when they died.

Here are two: One is a tribute to General George Patton and is located at the Patton Museum at Chiriaco Summit along I-10 east of Indio in California. The other is a monument to the Arizona Confederate soldiers who fought for the constitutional right of self-government. The monument is located in Wesley Bolin Plaza at the state capitol in Phoenix.

There can only be one - But I am bias.

Some mean more to others. This is one I helped build at NRMC Camp Pendleton. The artist, Raul Avina, was a Marine and felt strongly that the Corpsmen on Iwo Jima didn't have the recognition they deserved. So, I did the base and structural design and Raul did the figures in his garage. We did a monolithic concrete pour with steel mounts in the correct location. A crane and some welder time and the figures were in place. Additional work by Raul on the surface textures, add a plaque, and voila, a monument. The third picture is Raul on the ground when he realized the last weld was done and his figures were locked into place. A bit later, Raul made me a personal gift of a small figure of a CEC Officer using a transit out of the same "pourstone" material he made the monument out of. One of these days, I'll have to go back and see if it's still there.
