The World War II Illinois Veterans Memorial is a monument located in the city of Springfield, Illinois. The memorial was constructed in 1995 to honor the brave men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces during World War II. The monument is situated on the Illinois State Capitol grounds, adjacent to the Korean War and Vietnam War memorials.

The memorial is composed of three main elements – a fountain, a reflecting pool, and a wall of remembrance. The fountain features a bronze eagle perched on a globe, with water cascading down from its wings into the reflecting pool below. The pool is surrounded by a walkway, featuring granite markers that list the names of all the Illinois residents who died during World War II.

The wall of remembrance is a black granite slab inscribed with the words "World War II Illinois Veterans Memorial" and the dates of the war. The names of all the Illinois residents who served in the war are etched onto the wall, organized by county. The memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought for our country during World War II, and as a tribute to their courage and dedication. It is a popular destination for visitors to Springfield and a symbol of the state's gratitude for the service of its veterans.
