John Paul Jones Memorial

The John Paul Jones Memorial, also known as Commodore John Paul Jones, is a monument in West Potomac Park, Washington, D.C. The memorial honors John Paul Jones (1747–1792), the United States' first naval war hero, who received the Congressional Gold Medal after the end of the American Revolutionary War. Jones is famous for allegedly saying "I have not yet begun to fight!" during the Battle of Flamborough Head. Born in Scotland as John Paul, he emigrated to the United States in the 1770s and added Jones to his name.
