The memorial currently honors the service members who lost their lives in the service of the Second Division of the United States Army during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. The current design includes an eighteen-foot-high sculpture of a hand grasping a flaming sword that guards an architectural frame of granite. Panels with inscriptions recognize particular campaigns. The Second Division Memorial was dedicated on July 18, 1936. On August 15, 1957, Congress authorized an addition to the memorial to honor the Second Division members lost in World War II and the Korean War. On August 13, 2018, Congress authorized a modification to the memorial under the provisions of the Commemorative Works Act, to allow for recognition of soldiers who lost their lives while serving in Korea on the Demilitarized Zone from 1965-1991, Iraq from 2003-2010, and Afghanistan from 2009-2013.

  • 1 Statement for the Record, National Park Service, U.S
    STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES, CONCERNING S. 3315, TO AUTHORIZE THE MODIFICATION OR AUGMENTATION OF THE SECOND DIVISION MEMORIAL. September 22, 2016 Thank you for the opportunity to present the views of the Department of the Interior on S. 3315, a bill to authorize the modification or augmentation of the Second Division Memorial. The Department understands the effort to recognize the service men and women who gave their lives while serving with the Second Infantry Division during the Cold War in Korea, the War in Iraq, and the War in Afghanistan, but we do not support S. 3315 because it would alter the character of the existing Second Division Memorial and the Ellipse, and it is inconsistent with several elements of the Commemorative Works Act (40 U.S.C Chapter 89). S. 3315 would authorize the Second Indianhead Division Association, Inc. Scholarships and Memorials Foundation to add new subjects for commemoration to the existing Second Division Memorial, located in President’s Park, by placing three benches honoring the members of the Second Infantry Division killed in the Cold War in Korea, the War in Iraq, and the War in Afghanistan. The Second Division Memorial was authorized on March 3, 1931, and was dedicated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on July 18, 1936, to commemorate the members of the division who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in the First World War. The original design by noted sculptor James Fraser was amended in 1962 to add the flanking wings, in recognition of the Division’s achievements during World War II and the Korean War.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database.
