Memorials On the Mall

Another thing to see while in Washington DC is some of its famous memorials: Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam and World War II.
The World War II Memorial is a spectacular structure to honor those who fought for our freedom during this great war. The large fountain in the middle of the memorial is probably one of the most beautiful parts.
The Vietnam Memorial is a grand observation to those who lost their lives during the war. On this massive wall is a list of all the men and women who died during the Vietnam War.
The Lincoln Memorial one of the most respected memorials of all times. It represents Lincoln's role in the emancipation of the African Americans from slavery.
Lastly, the Korean Memorial is set up to look like soldiers in a battle field. The most impressive part of it is the soldiers' faces: their expressions are so intricate, they almost look real. This memorial also holds a few of the most important words to our country, "Freedom Is Not Free", inscribed onto a wall next to the memorial.
If you have the chance, visit these memorials at night too. Their illumination creates such awe and beauty upon them, a slightly different experience from the day.
