The Lincoln Memorial is an iconic symbol of American history and a place of profound significance. Its majestic architecture, featuring the towering statue of Abraham Lincoln, commands respect and admiration. The solemnity of the Reflecting Pool, set against the backdrop of the Washington Monument and the Capitol, creates a breathtaking vista. Visitors are immersed in the spirit of freedom, equality, and unity, making it a must-visit destination. The memorial's role in commemorating one of America's greatest leaders and his enduring message of liberty and justice for all is truly inspiring.

A very solemn day, there seems to be no buried soldiers here, just a simple memorial to the soldiers who died for the country in the war, the environment is particularly good, and there are not many people to visit.

Traveling to the city, walking around, running attractions, to the Korean War Veterans (Deaths) Monument, which was built in Washington, DC in 1995 to commemorate American and United Nations soldiers killed in the Korean War. The creation of such a “Korean War Veterans (Deaths) Monument” was mentioned after the completion of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. The US Congress authorized the US War Memorial Committee to establish such a monument to honor American citizens of both sexes who had served the country in North Korea (public law filed on October 28, 1986). President Ronald Reagan then appointed a team of advisers to the Korean War Memorial Wall to help carry out the work. In September 1988, the US War Memorial Committee approved the planned memorial wall in Washington, DC, on the southwest side of Ash Woods Lincoln Memorial. President George W. Bush laid the foundation for the memorial park on June 14, 1992. On July 27, 1995, the 42nd anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement, President Clinton and President Kim Yongsan of South Korea attended the unveiling. This is a building designed and managed by the "Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee of the Korean War and the American War Memorial Committee". Now, the memorial has been handed over to the National Park Service's National Mall and Historical Memorial Park Group. The monument is built in a triangular inner circle wall, about 50 meters long and about 20 cm thick, and more than 100 tons of black granite shipped from California, with more than 2,500 photographs or archival photos showing the wall in sandblasting. The circle contains a memorial pool, a 9-meter-diameter black granite shallow pool surrounded by trees, engraved with the number of dead, injured, missing and imprisoned.

I had a good experience at this location and just to let you know that it was a very different experience and that one day that I had the time to go out of town and come down I will be more relaxed and willing to explore more of my time and the area and have more adventurous days in the DMV area because you know I am from out of town and not from here so it was a good experience overall

Jefferson was also a prominent figure in American history and was president, but Lincoln was clearly above him, and his memorial was in the same form as the Pantheon, but not on the central axis.
