Val and I were in Washington, D.C. for a week. Val attended a training course in the city and I was on vacation mode, fresh from boot camp. Some of the places I visited were about U.S. military history.

A walk away from the Arlington National Cemetery is the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial. It has got to be the most dramatic memorial that I have seen... yes, even more impactful than the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It featured a statue based on the most iconic photo taken during World War II (in my opinion): the flag-raising photo on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima.
