We also were able to walk to the WWII Veterans Memorial. I have not been to a memorial since I was a teen and I was overwhelmed by the emotions that came over me. I was trying not to be too noticeable, but I couldn't help the tears streaming down my face the whole time we visited. It was incredible and an overwhelmingly huge and well made monument. I look forward to going again- with tissues!
Grant and Jake posed cheerfully, really! The sun's in their eyes, that's why they look annoyed!
I am so glad you enjoyed! We never got to talk about it, but I often thought about whether you made it over there. I knew your kids would LOVE the WW2 Monument, I didn't know you would love it so much! It does the same for me; now I just have to get you to read some of my WW2 books so we can discuss. You know. In our spare time. yeah.
ReplyDeleteDid you guys see the Vietnam Wall? I have a cousin whose name is on there. We went one time and copyed the etching his name for my dad (it was actually his brother's son). Talk about tears flowing. I remember some boy walked by and asked his mom what we were doing. I was crying so hard I did not hear what she told him. I love D.C.
