  • The Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in the United States, located on the Westminster College campus in Fulton, Missouri, commemorates the life and times of Sir Winston Churchill. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous "Sinews of Peace" address in the Westminster historic gymnasium. His speech, due to one particularly famous phrase ("an ‘Iron Curtain’ has descended across the continent"), has come to be known as the "Iron Curtain" speech. One of Churchill's most famous speeches of all time, "Sinews of Peace" heralded the beginning of the Cold War. In order to pay tribute to Sir Winston Churchill's life and to his great speech, the Churchill Memorial comprises three distinct, but related elements: the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, the museum, and the "Breakthrough" sculpture.
