Having the opportunity to see all the amazingly beautiful memorials of DC made this Memorial day even more profound than normal. Here are a few shots from our trip:
 |
| The Newest Memorial |
 |
| Very moving and should be seen. |
 |
| In Honor of Grandpa Moller, we took a quick picture. He has been talking about this memorial since he saw it in Aprils so we were thrilled to get to see it as well. |
 |
| Husband's Mother's Cousin. |
 |
| Korean War Memorial |
 |
| DC War Memorial |
The following aren't War Memorials, but witnessing them in real life sure makes you proud of living in the USA. They remind you WHY those that died, went out and became the tools that the ranking officers used to defend our nation and our ideals. We are not a perfect country by any stretch. I mean really, we are kind of in a state of adolescence in comparison to many other countries in relative years. But for the most part, we have stood up for what is right. Unfortunately we are no longer ruled by the people, but instead by Bureaucracy. The sooner we remind Congress, the Senate, and the President of what their JOBS are (that it is to represent us, not their parties), we will be back on track. Sorry. I know I NEVER talk about politics, but after this trip I am full of thoughts and feelings about all these things.
