I got there that week. It is one of my favorite photos of myself with that curved row of flags in the background.

The bronze art at the entrance is NOT TO BE MISSED!

Two of those bronze castings are in the picture!

You can watch and almost want to touch them as you wait for the troops to actually “break” out of the metal.
