u.s. marine corps war memorial印象

I've seen lots of pictures of this memorial, but you really do have to see it in person to truly appreciate it. It was much bigger than I anticipated. It's not far from Arlington Cemetery so it's easy to hit up both places in one trip.

We love going to this park / memorial and bring a picnic. They offer a cool Marine Corps memorial of Iwo Jima, and very large grass areas with a view of Washington DC. Great place to bring picnic, play frisbee, and just relax with a wonderful view of DC. Also is the perfect place to watch the fireworks on July 4th, but you have to get there very early to have a parking spot or walk from the Rosslyn Metro.

Do you want to see how the U.S. Marines became who they are? Well, this is the place. Thoughtfully assembled and well researched, this place tells the history of the Marine Corps from its inception until today. Easy access . . . free parking . . . what more can you ask for. You may see enlistment ceremonies and promotions going on as Marines treasure this place. The gift shop is great and the cantina is standard fare. Allow at least 2 hours for your visit as there is much to see and observe.

This monument is more impressive in person than any photos I have seen. My father and brother both served in the Air Force and I have always been patriot. It is a powerful experience.

If you are going across the river, I would advise Arlington Cemetery and all of its sights first. However, if you have additional time, make the stop to see this. First the monument itself is awesome to see. In addition, it sits on a hill with great views of DC, the Capitol, Monument and Lincoln Memorial. We visited on Moonlight Monuments visit. I had never been at night and it was an interesting experience as well.

I had real issues finding this from visitng Arlington, but then located the easy path (for the walk back), so ended up walking by the road through the snow. However, this place is inspiring, somber and amzing to reflect the various campaigns. Really enjoyed it and visiting here makes the trip to Arlington a well worth while detour. But plan how you get here so you dont have issues like i did! The walk from arlington might put some people off.

The memorial itself will bring a lump to your throat weather you are a Marine or not. However plan to go when they are conducting the Silent Drill. This is something you have to see to believe. The crowd stood and watched in stunned silence as the Corp conducted the drill. Also, don't miss the Marine Corp Museum in Triangle, Va

We visited the memorial on a DC bus tour. It was one of my favorite memorials on the tour. If you are in the area, don't miss seeing this!

I visited the memorial with my son. It was 70 years ago this month that the battle for IWO was fought and there my father died. Hew was killed from a motar round. It was just a moment in time that I stood still and could only think about the battle. I will not forget!

We walked from Arlington Cemetery to this statue. It was quite a walk, but it is a huge statue and was very interesting reading the markings.
