Washington, D.C.

I have begun processing and uploading dozens and dozens of memorials from my trip to Washington, D.C. So far, I have only the most popular and well-known memorials up: The Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War, World War Two and Vietnam Veterans memorials, the First Division and Second Division and African American Civil War memorials, and the little-known "Titanic" memorial on the waterfront from the national capital and the U.S.M.C. "Iwo Jima" memorial in Arlington, Virginia. I have also put up a local memorial from Sharpsburg, Maryland, the Antietam Battlefield National Cemetery, and some local memorials in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota and Jamestown, North Dakota.
Over time, "Sites of Memory" will eventually include several dozen more memorials from around Washington, D.C., all the important memorials from Arlington National Cemetery and a complete photographic documentation of the Antietam National Battlefield. About 20 memorials from around Germany and other parts of Europe are also on the way.
Women in Vietnam!
I neglected to photograph (or even see) the Women in Vietnam Memorial on the Washington Mall. If anybody has a good photographic record of that memorial and wants to publish it at "Sites of Memory," please get in touch!
