Lincoln Memorial

For a monument, it’s relatively small. It’s very simple. But it inspires within itself a certain sense of reverence and awe.

A great memorial to a great president.

you get to see the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam, Korean, and reflection pool all within feet of each other.

I love Abe! It was so amazing to finally see this. I went with my Grandparents a couple years ago and we were just passing by and couldn’t stay long. We only had time to visit one thing – so I begged them to take me there. The statue was actually smaller than I thought it was going to be. But nevertheless, it was still worth it. I loved being in a place with so much history.

I was only like 13 but it was pretty cool to see such a big statue, I dont remember alot about this. I think it was kind of in the middle of no where considering its in a big city. KInd of like a park setting is waht i mean.

I’ve been to DC many times; but, I always have to visit this memorial. You have to read the speeches…awe inspiring, esp. in this setting.

If you don’t know anything about abraham make sure you do before you go!
We had a tour guide for the whole week we were in dc and showed us some cool things about this memorial!
If you face lincoln and look at the speech on the left side there is an ERROR!
Try to have your group find it!
Also if you stand on the direct left side of lincoln in his chair and face it head on look at his hair and it groves into a profile of a face! pretty cool!
Also martin luther king jr. made this i have a dream speech on this memorial and where he stood the engraved there!

If you want to take a picture of it make sur eto bring a bottle of water!
You can hardly see it if its dry!

Abe was anything but obscure. Milliard B. Filmore he aint!
This man was truely a giant among men.

its some kind of symbol including the jews and the free masons…

Freshman year, while living with five other girls in a tiny 2 room suite, whenever things got a little too intense I’d go to the Lincoln just to sit and calm myself down. Last year my roommates and I took pictures of ourselves wearing santa hats in front of the Lincoln for our Christmas cards. Super cute, and a great way to make other people see why living in DC is so great. Whether it’s 2am on a random weekday night or noon on a Saturday in the peak of tourist season, the place feels reassuring, calming, and safe to me.

The Lincoln Memorial is particularly beautiful at night.
