The Maryland World War II Memorial is a lasting tribute to Marylanders who fought for the principles of freedom. JMT helped complete the conceptual design for the construction of the memorial, which included selection of a beautiful array of high quality granite materials. The project was completed within its 270-day schedule.
The memorial includes the following features:
Four-sided, open-air amphitheater
One hundred-foot diameter ring of nine-foot high granite pillars with engraved names of those Marylanders who gave their lives
Granite monuments, accented with stainless steel plaques, describing the wartime milestones, key events, and the contributions of Marylanders
Two 14-foot diameter granite globes depicting the locations of key World War II battles in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres
Five-pointed, stainless steel obelisk accented by a star that is illuminated each night
