National Memorial is a designation in the United States for a protected area that commemorates a historic person or event. National memorials are authorized by Congress. The memorial is often not located on a site directly related to the subject and many, such as the USS Arizona Memorial, don't have the word "national" in their titles. The earliest and perhaps most recognizable National Memorial is the uniquely designated Washington Monument.
   Most national memorials are owned and administered by the National Park Service, however some are administered by other organizations but are considered affiliated areas of the National Park Service. The owners of affiliated areas may request certain assistance from that agency in maintaining the memorial.
   As with all historic areas within the National Park System, national memorials are automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places; however, some memorials that are affiliated areas are not listed on the Register.
