Washington DC

This picture was taken from Greg and Karen's deck

off their kitchen. The front of their townhouse

looks like the third townhouse in from the left.

The one with a light yellow siding.

This picture was also taken from their deck,

showing the back of townhouses.

The US Air Force Memorial
The memorial is on a bluff overlooking
Washington, DC



The sand colored building is the Pentagon
as viewed from the Air Force Memorial. From
here you can also see Arlington Cemetery,
the Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington
Memorials as well as the Capital Dome and
the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.




The spires are over 300 hundred feet tall
and represent the missing man formation.
The glass monolith in the front further
explains the missing man formation.

The Iwo Jima Memorial

The grave site of Pres. and Mrs. Kennedy

and their two infant children.

This was taken looking away from the

Kennedy Grave site and toward

the Washington Memorial.

Guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns

Arlington Cemetery

George Washington University at Foggy Bottom

A number of Greg's graduate school classes are

in this building. The Dept. of Interior

is across the street and on the opposite corner

is the National Headquarters of

the American Red Cross.

A remembrance to the men who

served in Viet Nam.

The Viet Nam Wall

The wall was much bigger than we expected,

the etched names were a much smaller print.

We were told there are always a lot of visitors

to this memorial but it was extremely quiet,

no conversations going on.

Steve served in the Navy during the early years

of Viet Nam and before he became a US Citizen.

This was a very meaningful visit for both of us.

A rememberance to the women

who served in Viet Nam.

The Korean War Memorial

Another part of the Korean War Memorial.

The National Museum of the Marine Corps

Quantico, Virginia

Upon entering the museum you go into quite

a large rotunda that has displays of military

equipment and around the upper walls

are quotations from a number of people

speaking about the Marine Corps.

Various types of planes are hung as if in flight.

A Harrier jet with a quote in the background.

One of the many quotes around this room.

This is one of two flags flown at Iwo Jima

on Mt. Suribachi. This is the smaller

of the two flags which are interchanged

periodically for museum goers and to

protect the flags.
