Texas World War II Memorial, War memorial at Texas State Capitol grounds, Austin, United States.
The Texas World War II Memorial features a 17-foot granite column topped with a bronze oak and wheat wreath at the State Capitol complex.
This memorial commemorates over 830,000 Texans who served in World War II, including 22,000 individuals who lost their lives between 1941 and 1945.
