Second Day: WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Monument, Vietnam Memorial- Part Five

This is the fifth post in a series of posts on our family's trip to Washington D.C. To read from the beginning of the story please scroll down the page until yo see a post entitled Intro Post.

The pictures used in these posts are not all of the pictures that I took on the trip as I took over Check Spelling600. To see all of my pictures click here.

WWII Memorial:
The WWII memorial was the next stop that we made. The above collage is pictures of all of the inscriptions that are on the walls. It was good to remember all of the people who fought and died for our Country. Not just in WWII, but in all of the wars that our country has fought in. This post focuses on that as this post is about Memorial and Monuments.


The WWII Memorial

Korean War Memorial:
The Korean War Memorial was the next stop in Washington D.C. This Memorial has a wall with just faces on it. No names. Just faces. It also has statues.

A wall in the Korean War Memorial that says "Freedom is not Free"

The Lincoln Monument:
The Lincoln Monument was the next stop. It was very big and had a lot of steps.

Vietnam Memorial:
The Vietnam Memorial is the last thing that I am going to talk about in this post. In this memorial there is a statue and a really long wall of name after name of people who died for our country in Vietnam. Some of them are MIAs and others are confirmed dead. Some people look at the statue below and comment on how young they looked.
That is all for now. Have a great day!
