| For some reason, these weren't torn. This is what all our tickets looked like originally. |
It was quite a busy day! See the story of our nearest tragedy back in today's Post.
Around the White House

| There's a street in L.A. named for Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish military man who fought for the Americans in the Revolutionary War. |

The United States Marine Corps War Memorial
 |
| Walking from the station to the cemetery, we saw this strange sight. |
 |
| Note the Capitol Building, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial on the other side of the Potomac River; we're well over three miles from the Capitol. |
The Washington National Cathedral
As with the "Iwo Jima Memorial" above, I will present these largely without comment.
