Old Naval Hospital

The Old Naval Hospital is a historic building located at 921 Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast Washington, D.C., in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. History In March 1864, president Abraham Lincoln asked Congress to construct the hospital. It was constructed in July 1866, for $115,000. Designed to accommodate 50 patients, the new hospital had good ventilation, running water, and gas lighting. In 1906, the hospital moved to its new facility at Observatory Hill, 23rd Street, and E Streets, N.W. In 1922, the building became the Temporary Home for Veterans of All Wars. The property is still owned by the federal government but its jurisdiction was transferred to the District of Columbia in 1962. The building was vacant for many years. In 2000 DC Mayor Anthony A. Williams formed a commission to establish an official mayoral residence with a renovation of the Old Naval Hospital being one of the options considered. Ultimately the commission recommended a plan for a new building to be constructed in Foxhall to become the mayoral residence, however, this plan fell apart by 2003. The Friends of the Old Naval Hospital has raised money to restore the building, at an estimated cost of $12 million. The plan is for the Hill Center to be a facility for education and community life on Capitol Hill. Restoration started in June 2010. On November 19, 2011, the Old Naval Hospital was reopened as a community centre called Hill Center. The new centre offers programs and opportunities to engage more in the community.

Pomnik Weteranów Wojny w Korei

Pomnik Weteranów Wojny w Korei (ang. Korean War Veterans Memorial) – pomnik zlokalizowany w Waszyngtonie, w parku National Mall, mający upamiętniać żołnierzy biorących udział w walkach podczas wojny koreańskiej. Kongres Stanów Zjednoczonych zatwierdził jego budowę 28 października 1986. Oficjalne otwarcie nastąpiło w 1995 roku, w 42. rocznicę rozejmu, stanowiącego zakończenie działań wojennych; dokonał go prezydent Bill Clinton. Pomnik ten ma trójkątną postać; w jego wnętrzu znajduje się 19 figur, wykonanych ze stali nierdzewnej, z których każda jest większych rozmiarów niż człowiek. Przedstawiają one żołnierzy amerykańskich na patrolu: 15 piechurów, 2 marines, 1 medyka, 1 członka sił powietrznych. Są w pełni uzbrojeni, teren, na którym zostali umiejscowieni przypomina szatę leśną Korei. Od północy ograniczony jest ścieżką, od południa granitową ścianą, na której znajdują się zdjęcia przedstawiające ludzi biorących udział w tej wojnie. Trzecie ramię trójkąta, zwrócone w stronę Mauzoleum Abrahama Lincolna pozostaje otwartą przestrzenią. Linki zewnętrzne Freedom is not free. Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation.

Oscar Straus Memorial

The Oscar S. Straus Memorial in Washington, D.C., commemorates the accomplishments of the first Jew to serve in the cabinet of a U.S. president. Oscar Solomon Straus was Secretary of Commerce and Labor under President Theodore Roosevelt from 1906 to 1909. The memorial is a marble fountain located in the Federal Triangle on 14th Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Constitution Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. It is located in front of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. The fountain was designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman, funded with a public subscription beginning in 1929, and dedicated on October 26, 1947. In the center of the memorial is the massive fountain with the inscription "statesman, author, diplomat" and to each side are two groups of statues, one called Justice (to symbolize the religious freedom which allowed a Jew to serve in such a position of authority) and the other Reason (to symbolize the capitalism and labor efforts put forth by Straus). It was rededicated on October 26, 1998. See also List of public art in Washington, D.C., Ward 6 References External links Media related to Oscar Straus Memorial at Wikimedia Commons Panorama
Oscar W. Underwood House

The Oscar W. Underwood House is a historic house located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood Northwest, Washington, D.C. It is nationally significant for its association with Major Archibald Butt (military aide to both presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft), and painter Francis Davis Millet – both of whom died in the Titanic disaster on April 15, 1912 – and also Alabama politician Oscar Underwood (1862–1929) who lived there 1914–1925. It was the first long-term home of the Washington College of Law, the nation's first law school founded and run by women. The property was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. The building presently houses a legal aid clinic operated by George Washington University. Description and history The Oscar Underwood House stands in Washington's Foggy Bottom neighborhood, at the southwest corner of G and 20th Streets NW. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor over its main block. It is one of three similar row houses extending along G Street. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the rightmost bay. The entrance and windows are set in segmented-arch openings with bracketed and eared stone hoods, the windows with bracketed sills. The mansard roof is pierced by dormers on both the front and side, with round-arch windows framed by pilastered and pedimented gables. The interior retains some of its original finishes, with larger rooms subdivided into offices. The house is the only known residence to survive relatively intact from the period of its association with Oscar Underwood. Underwood was a conservative Southern Democrat at the height of his influence in the first decades of the 20th century. He served in major leadership positions in both houses of Congress, and was several times a serious contender for the Democrat nomination for President of the United States. In 1926 he retired to the Woodlawn plantation. After Underwood left the house, it was acquired by the Washington College of Law. It was founded in 1898 by Ellen Spencer Mussey and Emma Gillett, who were both refused admission to several law schools but eventually entered the bar despite that handicap. Working with limited financial resources, the school occupied a number of inadequate quarters for the first quarter century of its existence, eventually raising funds in 1920 for its first permanent home on K Street. It soon outgrew that, and purchased this building from Senator Underwood in 1924. It remained the school's home until 1952, having merged into the American University in 1949. Some of the school's many early female graduates were instrumental in legal aspects of gaining women's suffrage in the 1910s and 1920s.

Lauzun's Legion Bridge

The P Street Bridge or Lauzun's Legion Bridge is a 336-foot (102 m) concrete arch bridge that conveys P Street across Rock Creek and Rock Creek Park between the Georgetown and Dupont Circle neighborhoods of Northwest Washington, D.C. Built in 1935, it replaced an older iron truss bridge. History The location of the bridge was long used as a ford over Rock Creek, connecting the town of Georgetown to points east. During the American Revolution, the Baltimore Light Dragoons and French units led by the Marquis de Lafayette, Count Rochambeau and Armand Louis de Gontaut, Duc de Lauzun crossed here. The first bridge at the site was a wooden covered bridge built in 1855. It was replaced in 1871 by an iron truss bridge, which was rebuilt in 1893 to carry streetcars operated by the Metropolitan Railroad. Current bridge The current bridge was built in 1935. The bridge was closed for a $3.5 million reconstruction in 2003, the first since its completion, and reopened on July 15, 2004. Renaming In June 2006, the Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commission (2B) discussed a proposal to give the bridge a ceremonial designation to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the end of the American Revolutionary War. On October 14, 2006, the P Street Bridge was ceremonially renamed Lauzun's Legion Bridge for Lauzun's Legion (French: Volontaires-etrangers de Lauzun), a specially constructed unit that was formed on March 5, 1780, from various detachments of the French Army and Navy commanded by Duc de Lauzun at the Siege of Yorktown. The ceremony was attended by French Ambassador Jean-David Levitte, Jacques Bossiere, and representatives of the D.C. Daughters of the American Revolution and D.C. Children of the American Revolution.

Мемориал на ветераните от Виетнам

Мемориал на ветераните от Виетнам (на английски: Vietnam Veterans Memorial) е национален мемориал на Съединените американски щати, разположен във Вашингтон и посветен на американските военнослужещи, загинали или изчезнали без вест в хода на войната във Виетнам. Състои се от 3 части – стената на мемориала, скулптурата на 3-та войници и мемориал на жените, участвали във войната. История Идеята за мемориала е на Иян Скръгс, участник във войната от 199-а пехотна бригада. През март 1979 година той гледа филма „Ловецът на елени“, който му напомня за страданията и смъртта на много от неговоте другари по време на войната. Същата нощ той решава да построи паметник с имената на всички загинали или изчезнали в този период от историята на САЩ. През април 1979 година е създаден Фонд за мемориала на ветераните от Виетнам, който започва да набира средства за построяването. Всичките 8,4 милиона долара са събрани от частни компании или граждани, правителството не участва в набирането на средства. На 1 юли 1980 година Конгресът на САЩ решава да отдели територия за строежа. От октомври 1980 до май 1981 г. се провежда конкурс за най-добър архитектурен проект, в който участват 1421 предложения. Комисията избира този на 21-годишната студентка от китайски произход от Йейлския университет Мая Лин. Основната част на мемориала е завършена през 1982 г. Окончателно е завършен през ноември 1984 година. Основната част са две стени, често наричани просто Стената, изработени от черен гранит под ъгъл 125° 12′ с обща дължина 75 метра. На него са гравирани 58 159 имена, площта му е 8100 m² и се посещава средно от 3 – 4 милиона души годишно. Статуя на тримата войници Статуята на тримата войници (The Three Soldiers или The Three Servicemen) е създадена вследствие на противоречия, които възникват около първоначалния дизайн на Мая Лин. Това е бронзова статуя, състояща се от 3 войници в бойно снаряжение, типично за виетнамската война – бял, чернокож и латиноамериканец. Макар статуята да е отделена от стената, тримата войници гледат в нейното направление и са част от основната композиция. През 1984 г. скулптурата става част от мемориала, за да добави друг, традиционен архитектурен елемент. Автор е Фредерик Харт (Frederick Hart), който се класира трети в първоначалния конкурс. Мемориал на жените-ветерани Мемориалът на жените ветерани от войната във Виетнам е посветен на жените американки, служили във войната, повечето от тях в качеството си на медицински сестри. Той служи като напомняне за важната роля на жените в този военен конфликт. Представлява бронзова статуя с три жени в унифроми с ранен войник. Той е третата неразделна част от Мемориала на ветераните от Виетнам и се намира на близко разстояние от Стената. Дизайнът е на Глена Гудакър и е открит на 11 ноември 1993 година.

Monumento a los Veteranos de Vietnam

El Monumento a los Veteranos de Vietnam (en inglés, Vietnam Veterans Memorial) es un monumento nacional de los Estados Unidos que se encuentra en Washington D. C., y honra a los miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos que sirvieron en la Guerra de Vietnam. Se compone de 3 partes separadas: la Estatua de los Tres Soldados, el Monumento a las Mujeres de Vietnam y la Pared Conmemorativa a los Veteranos de Vietnam, que es la parte más conocida de este monumento. Se llama popularmente Vietnam Memorial, la Pared de Vietnam o la Pared. La parte principal se completó en 1982 y se encuentra en los Jardines de la Constitución, al lado del National Mall, en el lado noreste del Monumento a Lincoln. El Servicio Nacional de Parques de los Estados Unidos mantiene el Monumento a los Veteranos de Vietnam, que recibe cerca de 3 millones de visitantes al año. La Pared Conmemorativa fue diseñada por la arquitecta estadounidense Maya Lin. Luego de arduos debates en los que la propia Lin fue la protagonista, defendiendo su proyecto y su postura, ante todos los medios e incluso frente al Congreso norteamericano, el proyecto fue llevado a cabo en 1982 transformándose en uno de los monumentos más visitados por los estadounidenses. El monumento, un gran tajo con forma de V, que apunta hacia los memoriales de Washington y de Lincoln, construido con granito pulido negro, sobre el que se tallaron los nombres de más de 58000 americanos muertos y desaparecidos durante la guerra, actúa como una herida en la tierra que simboliza la gravedad de la pérdida.​ La simpleza y la fuerza de la propuesta, opera como un elemento de identificación directa de los visitantes al verse reflejados sus rostros que se entremezclan con los nombres de aquellos que ya no están.​ Galería Vandalismo Ha habido cientos de incidentes de vandalismo en el Memorial. Algunos de los más notables son los siguientes: En abril de 1988, se encontró una esvástica y varios rasguños en dos de los paneles.​ En 1993, alguien quemó uno de los puestos del directorio a la entrada del monumento.​ El 7 de septiembre de 2007, los guardianes del parque encontraron una sustancia oleaginosa sobre los paneles de la pared y las piedras del pavimento. El fundador del Memorial, Jan Scruggs deploró la escena, calificándola de «acto de vandalismo sobre uno de los lugares sagrados de Estados Unidos». El proceso de limpieza tardó varias semanas en completarse.​ Referencias
Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Le Vietnam Veterans Memorial ou Mémorial des anciens combattants du Viêt Nam est un mémorial national dédié aux soldats américains morts pendant la guerre du Viêt Nam. Il est situé à Washington, D.C., aux États-Unis, dans les Constitution Gardens, parc adjacent du National Mall, au nord-est du Lincoln Memorial. Sa construction et des problèmes annexes provoquèrent plusieurs controverses, certaines conduisant à des ajouts au mémorial. Le mémorial consiste en trois monuments distincts. Description Le Vietnam Veterans Memorial consiste en trois monuments distincts. Mur de granit noir Le mur de granit noir de Bangalore est un mur long de 150 m, sur lequel sont gravés les noms des 58 156 Américains tués ou portés disparus pendant la guerre du Viêt Nam, dans l'ordre chronologique de leur disparition, entre 1959 et 1975. Ce mur fut achevé en 1982. Il a été dessiné par l'architecte paysagiste américaine Maya Lin. Statue des Trois soldats La statue des Trois soldats (Three Soldiers statue) est une statue en bronze qui représente à taille réelle, trois soldats qui sont volontairement identifiables comme un soldat de type africain, un soldat de type caucasien et un soldat de type hispanique. Il fut inauguré en 1984 et est situé à une courte distance du mur. Les réactions négatives au projet de Lin créèrent une violente controverse. Un compromis fut trouvé en commissionnant Frederick Hart (qui avait fini 3e de la compétition originale) pour réaliser une sculpture figurative dans la tradition héroïque, en complément au mur du mémorial. La statue et le mur semble interagir, les soldats regardant avec solennité vers le mur où sont inscrits le nom de leurs camarades. La distance entre les deux autorise cette interaction tout en minimisant l'impact de cet ajout sur le design de l'œuvre de Lin. Vietnam Women's Memorial Le Vietnam Women's Memorial est géré et entretenu par le National Park Service et reçoit environ trois millions de visiteurs chaque année.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Het Vietnam Veterans Memorial (ook wel The Wall of "de muur" genoemd) is een monument in de Amerikaanse hoofdstad Washington D.C. ter ere van de veteranen en gesneuvelde soldaten uit de Vietnamoorlog. Het monument bestaat uit drie delen, te weten "de muur"; een monument ter ere van vrouwelijke veteranen (meest verpleegsters), en een standbeeld. Het meest herkenbare van deze drie delen is "de muur", een uit twee delen opgetrokken muur van zwart graniet, elk deel is 75 m lang en tussen de 20 cm en 3 m hoog en onder een hoek van ongeveer 125 graden verbonden met het andere deel. Het ene deel van de muur wijst in de richting van het Washington Monument terwijl het andere naar het Lincoln Memorial wijst. Op de muur staan zo'n 58.000 namen van gesneuvelde en vermiste soldaten die tijdens de Vietnamoorlog in dienst waren. De muur werd ontworpen door de architecte Maya Lin. De muur werd in 1982 onthuld. Het vrouwenmonument werd in 1993 aan het complex toegevoegd terwijl in 1984 al een standbeeld werd onthuld met de naam The Three soldiers. In 2004 ten slotte werd een plakkaat toegevoegd ter ere van veteranen die na de oorlog, maar wel als direct gevolg van de oorlog, om het leven kwamen. Traditioneel komen veteranen en familieleden van omgekomen troepen naar het monument toe om de namen van hun kameraden of familie op te zoeken. Door bezoekers achtergelaten voorwerpen worden dagelijks verzameld en bewaard in een speciaal daarvoor bedoeld museum en opslagplaats.
