FINAL MEMORIAL VISITS

Last night visited the White House, the Pentagon Memorial, and Iwo Jima Memorial.

PENTAGON: The temperature dropped significantly and the winds were strong, but students made the long walk out to the Pentagon Memorial. Although our students were babies on Sept. 11, 2001, they are quite tuned in to this infamous day. We walked quietly through the 184 benches honoring the victims of American Airlines Flight 77. The benches face in two directions to represent those who were on the plane and then those who were in the Pentagon. 


IWO JIMA: As you drive around this memorial and change your viewing perspective, the flag pole appears to move from an angle through to a straight pole giving the illusion that the flag is being raised. 

WHITE HOUSE:  We could not get very close due to the construction that has started in preparation for the inauguration ceremony.
