Inside view of the WWII Memorial
Interior photograph of the WWII memorial facing the Atlantic Theater arch. Due to the earliness of the season, the reflecting pool inside the memorial was winterized and empty. Below is Uncle James Braspenninckx as a 17 year old Navy sailor in WW2.

The Korean War Memorial
The Korean War Memorial was very emotional and beautiful. Similar to the Vietnam Memorial, the long black slabs of granite were just overwhelmingly sad when you thought of the lives that did not come back. The Soldier's Field next to the wall was very haunting. It made one introspective and very grateful for what all the service men and women did for our country. Our family especially liked the etched photographs on the wall that at first glance, one didn't necessarily see right away. In the above photograph, it was interesting to see the reflection of the Soldier's Field on the wall.
