The Korean War Veterans Memorial is the most breathtaking of all of the memorials. Seeing it for the first time - in the light of the moon, with the holograph changing the back wall as you move along - you can feel those soldiers slogging through a swampy field, inundated with rain.

The days we were in DC, we would gravitate back to that memorial and each time we left in tears.

It sounds breathtaking; I hope to take it in someday. Thank you. (The stamp comes out in July, I guess. There will be a Purple Heart stamp coming out the end of this month.)
