Ok, this is my very first time to visit our Nations capitol!! My brother is a "firstie" this year at the United States Air Force Academy and is presently doing an internship with Congressman Gene Taylor (MS).

It was absolutely amazing! Great place! I got to play tourist on my day off and took lots of pics! Enjoy!



George W wasnt home, he was at Camp David.

Korean War Memorial. Very impressive!

 

[BUSA_CHeMiST]

Kinda hard to read, but this saying was etched into the wall at the Korean Memorial..... "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"

 

[BUSA_CHeMiST]

Yeah, you know i couldnt get out of DC without visiting the awe inspiring Vietnam Memorial!

This is my favorite picture of ALL!  Elderly couple wanted an etching of a relatives name from the wall, so a father volunteered himseld and his son to reach it for them!  

THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!

Great pics! I used to live in Lexington Park, Md. My wife and I made it a point to go up to DC every weekend and see something new. My favorite spot was at the Wall.

pics... my faviorite is the kid with his dad on the wall. I went to DC many years ago as a young teenager. I knew it was something special then but i'd LOVE to go back again someday. Still serving the in the Air Force and knowing more now than i did then would make the trip that much more special! Thanks for sharing your pics!!

 

[MC MUSTANG]

And ---- Appearantly the President wasn't at Camp David after all??

 

[VaBusa]

I still haven't seen the Vietnam Wall and want to go so badly...waiting 'til my boys are a bit older so I can explain to them the significance of being there...

Awesome pics! Thanks for posting them up
