Memorial in D.C.

After viewing the World War II Memorial we walked down the long pooled area to the Lincoln Memorial that is found on our penny and $5 dollar bills.
















We attended the Vietnam Memorial, where there is the listing of all those who died and were missing in action. The listing is by the date of the dying or missing. Various tributes by family and friends sat at the foot of this Memorial.






Mark took time with the five kids to share a few stories that his Uncle Erv had shared with him about his experience while serving during the Korean War.












After viewing the FDR Memorial and then the Jefferson Memorial we had a long walk around the lake giving us this opportunity in the eveing to look back over the lake at the Jefferson Memorial. Not only was Jefferson so intregal in the development of the Declaration of Independance, but was very instrumental in designing the layout of Washington, D.C.
Got back to the hotel about 10 p.m. for a late supper of pizza!
