For almost 110 years this
memorial stood watch
over 482 veteran & widow graves at Arlington
National Cemetery
It became a marker for
its world-renowned
Jewish veteran sculptor, Moses Ezekliel's grave
after he died
Four US Presidents supported its creation including McKinley, a US Army veteran of
America's most bloody war
Over the generations, every president except
Joe Biden, placed a Memorial Day wreath in observance of the Memorial's significance
Dubbed the "Christmas Monument", it became an international symbol of how a divided people reconcilied despite unprecedented division, death, and destruction
On June 4, 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson accepted the Reconciliation Memorial on behalf of the American people. There has been a lot in the news about why the Memorial was erected, but President Wilson was there. He seems like a pretty good source.
