The Lincoln Memorial & Vietnam Wall

It's time to play catch-up from the last few weeks. Here are a few scenes from the class trip to the Lincoln Memorial.



Could there be a more iconic pose of Lincoln than this?



Here is the Gettysburg Address. It is easy to appreciate how short it was when you see how easily it fits on this wall in giant letters.



On the facing wall, there is the Second Inaugural Speech from 1865.



I also got to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, only steps away from the Lincoln Memorial. I suppose I was paying a visit to Maj Robert M. Gilchrist, who is on my POW/MIA bracelet. It has been almost 43 years since he was shot down over North Vietnam. I hope wherever he is, he is resting in peace.
