Day Four - The War Memorials









On our last day, we went by all the War Memorials around the Reflecting Pool. The Vietnam Memorial was sobering with 58,000 names on it. The Korean Memorial made you feel like you were there because the statues of the soldiers were so life-like. The WWII Memorial gave us some idea of the enormity of the sacrifice by millions. And, finally, the Iwo Jima showed us that determination and sacrifice win wars.
