First Division Monument, Military memorial in President's Park, Washington, US
A pink granite column with a gilded bronze Victory figure rises above inscribed walls listing fallen soldiers of the First Infantry Division.
The monument, dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924, honors 5,516 First Division soldiers who died during World War I service.
The memorial received additions in 1957, 1977, and 1995 to commemorate soldiers lost in World War II, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm.
The monument stands south of State Place Northwest, between 17th Street Northwest and West Executive Avenue Northwest, near the White House.
A red flowerbed forms the numeral one in front of the monument, representing the First Division's nickname 'The Big Red One.'
