After we did the Lincoln Memorial (just finished a book about him recently, too), we walked over to the Viet Nam Memorial. I was very surprised that this place didn't move me like I thought it would. I mean, it was my generation's war....right? The statues of the soldiers and the women who served...they were great. The sight of the old veterans gathered around the statue of the women, was poignant and really moved my sweet Tree Hugger. I thought it was all great, but I was strangely unmoved.
Then we took a long walk up the path beside the reflecting pool approaching the World War II Memorial. Since I can't post anymore pics here, tune in to part three.
