Reflections on a memorable day
Jane
Today was June 28th 2015. Today we went to the World War II, Martin Luther King Jr., Washington Monument, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Some of the places we went took a large toll on all of us emotionally, where as some places we laughed and were happy. Today I am just going to write about two:
T he World
War II Memorial, was a relaxed environment, but had a solemn atmosphere. There
was a sign that the boys in WW II used to tell that they had previously been
there. His name was Kilroy. He was a cute little dude with a pair of eyes, a
nose and fingers peering over a wall. Though people objected to put it in the
memorial, they carved a little Kilroy inconspicuously in a hidden area. (which
no matter what the others tell you I FOUND HIM FIRST!!) There was also a
veteran there who was delighted to share his story and have photo ops. I gave
him a hug, which almost knocked him over, for which I kinda felt bad.
The Holocaust Memorial was a mixing pot of emotions such as realization, happiness, sadness, and many others. There were many exhibits that were all touching in many personal ways. I bought a book that is a good book so far, called The Liberator, which as far as I can tell is a great story. But the whole thing was a very moving experience that for my life time I will never forget

I had a great day today, and I am sure I will have a great
one tomorrow!

Day 6 Review
Emma
Today was amazing!! We went to The White House! It was
a lot smaller then I had anticipated. It was cool to see the different protests
that were going on. There was one guy there who had everything, a nice car,
food on the table and traveled a lot. He gave that up to protest against the
government and lost everything, he even lives in a homeless shelter. Next, we
went to the Holocaust Museum. It was very emotional. I wish we could have had a
little more time there. The World War II Memorial was awesome! I got to meet a
real veteran who served. That was the highlight of my trip so far. The man
seemed happy that we were asking questions. I can’t wait for tomorrow!
