DC day four

Arlington National Cemetery. The feeling here is very moving and overpowering. This is the eternal flame for JFK.





Seeing is not believing. So many stones, so many lives spent protecting the values of our country. Very hard not getting choked up at this sight.










Back and forth,
always on guard,
21 steps, 21 seconds
honoring the hero buried at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
















Changing of the guard. Definately a sight to behold.












Picture time, after a long walk up the stairs to the Lincoln Memorial. We almost had to walk from the cemetery until we found the tour trolley headed in the right direction.

Your welcome Cait.















He looks a little bigger than he does on the penny!!








Doin' the tourist thing!!







Korean soldiers on patrol. Part of the Korean War Memorial. Donna's step-father was active duty during this conflict.




Those same soldiers on patrol reflected along with the ghost images etched in the memorial wall.
An amazing picture Donna!!!!




Headed down into the Vietnam memorial.










The Washington Monument from the reflecting pool of the WWII Memorial.
