This was a great park in the middle of town. What a beautiful city our nation's capitol is!
Robert doesn't live far from the Iwo Jima Memorial and the National Cemetery.
We could see the Washington Monument clearly from the Iwo Jima site.
The Marines have an annual marathon every year and they had it the weekend we went to see Gettysberg.
Gettysberg is about 24 square miles of monuments. Each regiment erected a monument and so you see very many. It surprised me to see so many Confederate monuments.
This was a regiment from New York. I thought of Uncle Fred (who did not fight at Gettysberg,) who did fight in the Civil War and probably had a uniform much like the one on this statue.
This was the Wheat Fields where the field was covered with dead bodies and blood. We were able to use an audio tour that Robert had and we were pretty depressed by the end of the tour. So many lives...
This is a picture from Ford's Theater where Lincoln was shot. They still use the theatre to give performances. Boothe thought that perhaps he could become a hero and see the rise of the South! What a great loss!
