Back from DC. Visiting DC on 9/11 was emotional yet reaffirming that this IS a great nation. The National Mall was a reminder of the losses we as a country have endured to protect our freedoms. The major difference being those who lost their lives on 9/11 did not wear a uniform. Certainly those who have been on the battlefields in Afghanistan and Iraq have, and deserve their place in the National Mall.

One thing that I love about DC is that everything is so close to each other. It's awesome how something like the monument can be seen from so many different prespectives like here and here. This

Just south of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is the Vietnam Women's Memorial, which commemorates the 265,000 military and civilian women that served during the Vietnam War, 11,000 of whom worked as nurses. The 2,000 pound bronze structure stands 15 feet tall and depicts three women attending to a wounded soldier, reflecting the unity required during the conflict. The memorial, located in a grove of trees across from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, is open 24 hours a day.
