So.... as you all know I went to Washington DC and had a grand time, yet I have been to lazy lately to finish those off...
On Thursday we stayed home during the day but at night we went to see to monuments at night. We went to the Lincoln Memorial and I was struck by a quite profound thought as I looked up at Mr. Lincoln. He is the man who stopped slavery. Every African American in the U.S. is free because of the Emancipation Proclamation. This guy was not only good in character and moral he was good in heart too. We also saw the Vietnam, Korean, and WWII War Memorials. The Vietnam was very quiet and peaceful. I felt so blessed to live in America, to be able to make my own choices, to be free.....and I am part of all of that because of these men and women who died for our country. I got to ponder on the blessings I have. Tears were on my cheeks as I thought of all of the family-both extended and immediate- that were and are affected by the deaths of the soldiers. The Korean Memorial kind of creeped me out.... the faces that were etched in stone are just another reminder of how exactly terrifying war is. The WWII was very beautiful. Sort of a shrine to all the people who died.
