Which U.S. president dedicated the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 2004?

George W. Bush dedicated the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 2004.

The National World War II Memorial stands on the National Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. President Bush dedicated it on May 29, 2004, during a ceremony attended by veterans, families, and public officials.

The memorial honors the 16 million Americans who served in the U.S. armed forces during the Second World War and the millions more who supported the war effort at home. Its design includes 56 pillars representing U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia, along with two arches for the Atlantic and Pacific theaters.

The memorial is often visited around Memorial Day, but it honors all who served in the war, while Memorial Day specifically commemorates U.S. service members who died in military service.
