​

Pillars of Honor, worked with the memorial’s architect, Friedrich St. Florian, to secure the original model of the monument that now stands in Washington, D.C. Since its dedication in 2004, organizations such as Honor Flight have arranged for thousands of WWII veterans to visit the memorial and enjoy a day of camaraderie. Many, however, are simply unable to make the trip to Washington. According to Pillars of Honor, the average age of surviving WWII vets is 89 years old. The scale model is displayed at various locations around the mid-west 

is a way of bringing the National World War II Memorial to the people it honors. Most importantly, it serves as a visual reminder of their personal sacrifice and service to our country.
