Oh yes, I forgot. The military nurse memorial near the Vietnam memorial. If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes, nothing will. One of my favorite places to go for a moment of meditation on every visit to the area (other than the Georgetown U campus).

My husband and I were literally speechless after seeing the Vietnam Memorial. I noticed many people were in the same state at the end of the Memorial Wall.

God Bless all of our troops, always!

I was there in 1997 when the Women's Memorial was dedicated. If I live to be 1000, I'll never forget the sight of all those women who served in the military and their families marching by candlelight across Memorial Bridge! And never have I EVER spent a more fun weekend in D.C. Everybody was so darned polite and friendly!

I took my aunt, who was a Lt. Col. during WW2 -- and we went to a huge luncheon at some hangar out at Andrews Air Force base; the women were divided by theater -- and to see them in their uniforms just brought tears to your eyes!

A highlight of the weekend was during the dedication service when Al Gore spoke and a LOT of the little ladies got up and left.......LOL!
