Summary
| Description |
English: The wall of gold stars at the National World War II Memorial includes 4048 stars — each star representing *about* 100 Americans killed during World War II. The wall contains 16 rows of stars and 253 columns. The number, 4048, is somewhat arbitrarily chosen by the designers of the memorial who point out that a there is no precise number killed, as many were missing, unidentified, etc. |
