This legislation would rededicate the District of Columbia memorial as the 'National and District of Columbia World War I Memorial.'

I think it's fitting that all the great wars of the 20th century have their place on the National Mall.

For far too long, the sacrifices of American World War I veterans have gone unrecognized on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
