There are commemorative stones inset in the walls from various individuals, civic groups, cities, states, countries from around the world, tokens of appreciation of Washington's admirers, and in many cases the donors that contributed to the construction of the Monument in its privately-financed phase. Today there are 193 of these commemorative stones. | |
