We used to live in Virginia many moons ago, and would travel into DC just about every weekend to take advantage of the free museums and such, but we never went to this memorial. Looks like we missed out on a lot.

Were you able to see the etchings in the black granite wall? They are faces of soldiers Korean and American as well as civilians; men, women and children. They represent the lives lost during the war. It is something to stand there gazing at those faces that look back at you like forgotten ghosts wavering just out of view. The statues on patrol are also caught in the reflection, making everything rather eerie. The heighth of the soldiers is imposing as well. It was my favorite monument too.kayerjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479123027080062607noreply@blogger.com
