The Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II (Japanese: 全米日系米国人記念碑, Zenbei Nikkei Beikokujin Kinenhi) is a National Park Service site to commemorate the contributions of American citizens of Japanese ancestry and their parents who patriotically supported the United States despite unjust treatment during World War II. The work is at Louisiana Avenue and D Street in Washington, D.C.
