Texas World War II Memorial

Texas World War II Memorial, War memorial at Texas State Capitol grounds, Austin, United States.

The Texas World War II Memorial is a 17-foot (5.2 m) granite column topped with a bronze wreath of oak and wheat, standing on the Texas State Capitol grounds in Austin. It is a replica of the Texas pillar at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed by an unknown artist and erected in 2007 by the Texas World War II Memorial Committee and the Texas State Preservation Board.

The memorial commemorates the more than 20,000 Texans who died in service during World War II. It was erected in 2007 by the Texas World War II Memorial Committee and the Texas State Preservation Board, and its design is credited to an unknown artist.

The memorial is a replica of Texas's pillar at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed by an artist whose name is not recorded. It was erected in 2007 by the Texas World War II Memorial Committee and the Texas State Preservation Board, and its bronze wreath combines oak and wheat.

The memorial stands on the Texas State Capitol grounds in Austin, near the other monuments of the Capitol complex. The column rises 17 feet (5.2 m) from level ground, so the bronze wreath sits well above eye level; step back to see it whole. The grounds are open to walkers, and the paved paths around the Capitol serve visitors with limited mobility.
