美国海军纪念馆座落于华盛顿特区,纪念在美国海军,海军路战队,海岸警卫队,和美国海商水手的现役和退役军人.
The United States Navy Memorial at 7th Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Indiana Avenue in Washington,D.C.(701 Pennsylvania Ave,NW) honors those who have served or are currently serving in the Navy,Marine Corps,Coast Guard,and the Merchant Marine.
Congress authorized the Memorial in 1980,with the stipulation that funding come solely from private contributions.In March 1980,President Jimmy Carter signed Public Law 96-199,which authorized the Memorial as a part of a larger Department of the Interior bill.
Although a number of sites in Washington,DC were possible,the Foundation teamed up with the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation to use Market Square as the site for the Memorial.The Foundation and the Corporation jointly selected Conklin Rossant of New York as architects.
Navy MemorialBy December 1985,the Foundation had raised enough funds to warrant a go-ahead approval from the Secretary of the Interior,and construction got underway the following month.(The Foundation staff and Board of Directors had raised $18-million by opening day of the Visitors Center,and fund raising continues today,to retire remaining construction debt and support educational programs undertaken by the Foundation.)
By August 1987,Stanley Bleifeld completed work on the Lone Sailor statue as construction of the Memorial neared completion at the site.
The Memorial was dedicated on October 13,1987.
Navy Memorial with Visitors Center in BackgroundFrom late 1987 to mid-1990,two buildings were constructed on the Memorial's northern perimeter.The eastern of the two buildings was selected for the Memorial's Visitors Center.The building's shell was sufficiently completed by September 1989 to allow construction to begin for the interior of the Visitors Center.The Visitors Center opened in June 1991 and was formally dedicated on October 12,1991.
During the summer of 2006,the water in the fountains of the Navy Memorial was colored blue due to the presence of chemicals added to the water to fight algae growth.[1] According to a spokesperson for the memorial,the algae has been surprisingly difficult to remove,and that they "figured it was better to have blue water than to have an algae-encrusted memorial." [2] The blue water was gone by the end of the summer.
The United States Navy Memorial is home to the Memorial Plaza,which features Stanly Bleifield's famous statue,The Lone Sailor.The Lone Sailor,a tribute to all personnel of the sea services,overlooks the Granite Sea,an exact replication of the world's oceans.Surrounding the Granite Sea are two fountain pools,honoring the personnel of the American Navy and the other navies of the world.The southern hemisphere of the Granite Sea is surrounded by 26 bronze bas-reliefs commemorating events,personnel,and communities of the various sea services.
