After considerable analysis of numerous potential sites for the memorial, the Commission identified its preferred site located across the street from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. The four-acre land parcel is on Independence Avenue between Fourth and Sixth Streets, SW.
Over a three-year period site approval was sought from the U.S. Congress, various government agencies, and advisory organizations before final site approval was granted on September 21, 2006.
