Due to the amounts of lives lost in WWII there have been numerous memorials put up around the globe, dedicated to the soldiers who died in action. One of the most famous ones is the National World War II Memorial in Washington DC, USA. This memorial was erected to all the soldiers who served and died in the Second World War, and is located on the national mall in Washington DC. It was built on the former site of the rainbow pool which is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.The idea first came up when World War II veteran Roger Durbin approached Ohio Democrat Marcy Kaptur in 1987. He asked if a World War II memorial could be erected in remembrance of fallen comrades. Kaptur tried to introduce the World War II memorial act to the House of Representatives, but it was rejected. He attempted to pass it a further 3 times, until on the fourth in 1993 it was finally accepted and was signed into law by President Clinton on May 25th the same year.With the bill finally passed, fund raising began, and the total $197 million dollars was raised to construct it.

Ancient Egyptians were one of the first known civilizations to treasure the conifer. When the winter solstice arrived, the Egyptians used to move green date palm leaves inside to symbolize life over death. When Romans celebrated their winter solstice festival, Saturnalia, they decorated their homes with greenery and lights as a way of giving thanks for a good season and praying for another upcoming season of plenty. It is also said that the Druids used evergreens in their winter solstice rituals. They positioned evergreen branches over doors to ward off evil spirits and prevent them from entering their homes. The evergreen tree's association with Christianity dates back about 500 years ago to the early 16th century. As the story goes, St. Boniface was traveling through the woods of what is today northern Germany, when he came across a group of pagans that were worshipping an oak tree. St. Boniface was so angered by this that he cut the oak tree down. It is said that in the oak tree's place, a conifer tree grew almost immediately. In amazement, St. Bonifice declared that this was a divine symbol of the Christian faith, and from that time forward, conifer trees began to be...more
