A District of Columbia flag is flown during a rededication ceremony following renovations of the District of Columbia WWI Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 10, 2011. District leaders spoke out against a plan to rename the memorial to be a national and D.C. memorial, arguing that the District should be allowed to keep their memorial since each state has a dedicated memorial to those residents who served in WWI.
