I had to learn "Give me your tired, your poor" in eighth grade and I still get goosebumps! I think The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Arlington Cemetery are the two places that have left their marks on my memory. Thanks for a great post!

Your article sounds like a good read! This past year I read a biography of Betsy Ross and I learned a lot about early life in America. Mount Rushmore is within a reasonable drive of my Nebraska home, and after my first husband died, I took my youngest son on a trip to Devil's Tower and Mount Rushmore. Unforgettable. I hope you get to see it someday!

I don't really have a favorite monument, but the one that touched me most was the Korean War Memorial in Washington D.C. As I walked along beside, it seemed as though the eyes of the soldiers were following me to the place where I sat down just to look at. The facial expressions are so real, and because I knew a young man killed in that war, my heart cried for all those who didn't come home. They were just statues, but they represented real men who sacrificed their lives. As a writer, I really let my imagination soar. I'll never forget it.Martha W.
