US Marine Corps War Memorial

My husband and I stayed in Virgina and took some tours in DC. We decided to take the bus tour and one place we saw was the US Marine Corps Memorial. It was amazing to see it in person. It was so much larger than I had expected. The detail in this bronze sculpture of these marines is incredible. That whole area around this is worth seeing. There are so many things that are close by that are worth a look.

Very Good, reflecting Memorial, great place to spend an Hour, reflecting and reading. Right next to Arlington National Cemetery

A can't miss memorial in Arlington. One of the most iconic visuals of the American military right before your eyes and a great place to reflect and appreciate what our fallen military men and women have sacrificed for this country and its people. There is parking, there are views and there is a beautiful work of art.

The area around the memorial is basically a park and wo8ld be a good spot for a picnic. Also, there are good views of DC to and if you stand in the right spot you could get a photo with the memorial, Lincoln memorial, Washington monument, and the Capitol building.

We took a ride to Arlington, VA to visit the Iwo Jima Memorial. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon with the sun shining and temperatures warming up. It is a very overwhelming experience at the Memorial. Not just it's shear size, but also the meaning that this site holds. There is plenty of parking at the Memorial. Take care as you will encounter tour busses in this area. Bathrooms are available near the site. Enjoy your visit!
