Lincoln Memorial


Yesterday on our tour, we saw the Lincoln Memorial. I've seen it before but I think it's a beautiful memorial. Our tour guide explained the significance of the position of his hands. He has a clenched fist for war and an open hand for peace. His foot is forward on the side of peace.

The Gettysburg Address is on one of the walls. When you look out from the columns in front of the memorial, you look across the reflective pool directly at the Washington Monument. We've been past it several times, but haven't stopped there yet.
