Marine Corp War Memorial

Gayle and I had all day Sunday to see some more sights before our flights. We were heading to DC again when we saw signs for the Iwo Jima memorial and Arlington Cemetary. We thought we would stop for a few minutes and see the memorial. It was stunning. It is really called the Marine Corps War Memorial , and it lists all of the wars the Marines have fought in since 1775. The the Netherlands Carillon was also there, and as we walked across the grounds, it began to play "The Star Spangled Banner." If you have never heard this played on bells, you must make it a goal in your lifetime to do so. It was haunting, and Gayle and I both teared up. We thought we were done at this area, and we were heading back to the car. That was when we met Bob.
