Four scores and seven years

Today I visited the man that fought against slavery, Abraham Lincoln. I drew the line at two Presidential memorials … limited myself to the two I studied about in school, namely Washington and Lincoln. I vaguely remember the “Four scores and seven years …” from my history lessons in one of his great speeches.

Text continues after this gallery.

: Lincoln Memorial.

: Washington Monument and Capitol in the background.

: The great man himself.

: Four scores and seven years ago …

: From the Lincoln Memorial looking towards the Washington Memorial.

: At the Lincoln Memorial.

Then took the subway to the Arlington war cemetery across in Virginia State. Thereafter, I headed to the Pentagon before doing a walk around the embassy district.
