George Washington: An American Icon:
George Washington's legacy of service, leadership, and democratic ideals lives on in the nation he helped create. For each new generation, the monument remains a defining symbol of American democracy, a place to celebrate the nation's past and chart its future.
We gather in the monument's shadow to express our beliefs and exercise our democratic rights. We celebrate in times of joy. We remember, and sometimes we mourn. We assemble here in times of struggle and change. Each visitor to be Washington Monument is part of this continuing American story. |
