In Washington, in residential headquarter, is a unique monument in the world: Memorial dedicated to the 58,000 American troops fallen for their country, on a battle field, at tens of thousands of miles away from home. The monument is unique because, unlike others, is not built aiming the sky, but was built below the ground level.
