Look at several of the many beautiful and varied monuments found in the DC parks. For this week's post write about your favorite three. Who, When, Where, How and What impact did they have on you. Be sure to include pictures to make your post more visually exciting.
1. The Vietnam Memorial is a monument built to honor all the soldiers who gave their life for our country. It began construction on March 26, 1982 in Washington D.C. by the Gilbane Building Company. The number of people on this wall shocks me and makes me feel sorrow for all the families. the memorial has put an influence me to be unselfish and thankful for the life you have.
2. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was built in 2011 at West Potomac Park in Washington D.C. It was built with white granite by designer Lei Yixin. I enjoy this monument because it shows an obstacle America went through with racism and why we are the way that we are when we address people outside of our race.
3. The Washington Monument was built to honor George Washington as one of our nations founding father. It was being constructed on and then finally built from 1848-1884 by designer Robert Mills. To me it shows how America started out and how strong we have become.
