    Crews race to finish World War II memorial By Jennifer C. Kerr, AP
    WASHINGTON – Construction crews are working day and night to put the finishing touches on the World War II Memorial so the site can soon be opened to the public – especially the veterans of that era, who are dying by the hundreds each day.

    The Veterans Affairs Department estimates World War II vets are dying at a rate of 1,056 a day – more than 385,000 a year. Fewer than 4 million will be alive at the time of the dedication.
