I think the best I've ever seen is the Marine Corps. memorial in D.C. of the flag raising on Mount Surabachi, Iowo Jima. Of course the photo is not the memorial but the actual event.

A 'monumental story'. This monument to the fallen stands in front of Crawford County, PA Courthouse in Meadville, PA. This part of the monument lists the names of area residents who perished in WWII.

This inset of the monument lists the name of Pierre L. Robinson. SGT Robinson, US Army was born to John & Blanche Delalande In France in 1914. His father, a French Soldier died during the WWI combat in 1916. Blanche met an American Soldier, John Robinson and they married in 1919. John adopted Pierre and the new family eventually settled in John's hometown of Meadville, PA in 1923 after several in-between stops. Pierre grew up in the Meadville area and found himself in the Army during WWII. He was a member of the 115th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division and tragically was killed in the Normandy landings on June 7th, 1944. He is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

The ones I find most awe inspiring are the Vietnam wall with the three soldiers on patrol and the Korean war memorial. Both are in D C.

Does Iron Mike still grace the entrance to Fort Bragg? He was symbolic of our fighting paratroopers of World War II.
