History
The Lincoln Memorial is a presidential memorial landmark located in the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Constructed to honor the 16th American President Abraham Lincoln, construction of the Memorial began in 1914 and completed in 1922. President Warren G. Harding presided over the dedication ceremony.

Several years ago, Rex Mason and his sweetheart Sapphire Stagg visited the Lincoln Memorial during a vacation trip to Washington, D.C. At this time, the Memorial became one of several targeted landmarks of an elusive foe known as the Phantom of Washington. [2]
Shortly after the 52 event, a massive force of Amazon warriors invaded Washington and took control of the entire area surrounding the National Mall. One Amazon warrior brutally decapitated a boy's father in front of his eyes on the monument's steps. [3]
Also during this time, Donna Troy and Jason Todd found themselves in pitched battle against an alien assassin known as the Forerunner. The battle took place in front of the monument and ended inconclusively. [4]
