National World War II Memorial

This memorial was beautiful!


It's amazing that he didn't fall in.  I'm serious.


It rained just a bit while we were at this monument, but it was lovely.  

This monument was quite humbling.  So many people died for the freedom of others.   

A flower had fallen off this flower wreath.  Abby was there fixing it before we could snap our fingers.  It was a very special sight. :)

These reliefs depicting the story of the war lined the wall going down to the fountain.  They were amazingly done!

The ominous clouds actually really add to the monument. Really neat.
