PBS National Memorial Day Concert. On the Capitol lawn. Beautiful! A little warm, but the concert was amazing. Lional Richie and Brad Pasley and others :)
Monday:
We went to the WWI memorial first. They were having a wreath laying ceremony. Laying wreaths for each of the branches of the military.
Afterwards we headed over the Korea Memorial
They had some wonderful bagpipers. I asked a few if we could take a picture.
It was hot and at that time of the day we still have several hours before the ceremony at the Vietnam Wall. Jennifer and I decided to to go to the American History Museum to take advantage of their air conditioning, while Mel and Lisa opt to stay and save us spots in the shade.
We went to the pop-culture display as well as others. So much fun. I've still only seen a so few displays in that museum
Jennifer found Dumbo :)
We met up again at the Vietnam Wall. They had some wonderful presentations and speeches.
I enjoyed watching the Young Marines in front of us. So young!
After the Vietnam Wall we wandered up Constitutional Ave to enjoy the Parade.
