Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference.
The Marines don't have that problem. The designer of the famous Marine War Memorial is master sculptor Felix DeWeldon. This artist is the designer of numerous memorials and monuments within the nation's capital. He is the world's only sculptor who can claim at least one work on every continent of the globe. Public demand to erect a monument memorializing this moment in American military history was strong in the wake of the Second World War's end.
