This bill makes it possible to build a memorial on the National Mall to honor women who contributed to the war effort during World War II. It recognizes their important role and ensures they are remembered in a significant place.
World War II Women's Memorial Location Act This bill allows the commemorative work for women who worked on the home front during World War II to be located in either (1) the Reserve, an area that generally extends from the United States Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, and from the White House to the Jefferson Memorial; or (2) the area just outside the Reserve, known as Area I. (This map shows the Reserve in red and Area I in yellow.)
