This memorial is sobering and thoughtful. To see the soldiers out on patrol looking for the enemy gives one the "chills". My friends told me that wherever you are the soldiers eyes follow you. It was a peaceful May morning when I visited.

This memorial is creatively done - the sculptured war participants are so lifelike, definitely drawing emotion and memory. Bravo to the creators of this fabulous memorial!

At night this gives you a sense of what the soldiers went through. What an art piece! You need to get a walking tour by Tim Stewart to get all the relevant facts and information about it. Just viewing the piece is not as informative as understanding the historical and cultural significance.

Possibly the most moving and effective memorial I have ever seen. Amazing and inspiring. Make sure you stop by while in DC.
