    Executive Director’s Recommendation Commission Meeting: November 7, 2019 PROJECT NCPC FILE NUMBER Second Division Memorial Modification 8120 President’s Park Constitution Avenue, NW & 17th Street, NW NCPC MAP FILE NUMBER Washington, DC 1.31(73.10)45017 SUBMITTED BY APPLICANT’S REQUEST United States Department of the Interior Approval of comments on concept National Park Service plans REVIEW AUTHORITY PROPOSED ACTION Commemorative Works Act Approve comments on concept per 40 U.S.C. § 8905 plans ACTION ITEM TYPE Staff Presentation PROJECT SUMMARY The National Park Service (NPS), in cooperation with the Second Indianhead Division Association Memorials Foundation, has submitted concept plans for proposed modifications to the Second Division Memorial, which is located in the southwest corner of President's Park on the Ellipse near Constitution Avenue and Seventeenth Street, NW in Washington, DC. 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.

  • 2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider
    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.
