270.... Back to work. Been on vacation since last Wednesday. Went up to Washington DC with a very good friend of mine and saw some of the most breath taking sites. In one day I witnessed the Changing of the Guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers inside of the Arlington Cemetery. I also walked around section 60 and 61 of the Arlington Cemetery looking at all the names from the Soldiers killed since 2003. After that we walked to the Lincoln Memorial. Next we knocked out the Korean War Memorial, along with the World War II Memorial. Last I spent about an hour just speechless as I looked at the Vietnam Veteran Wall Memorial with all the names on it. What a site.... On the way to a local pub I finished up by staring at the Washington Monument and doing flips and cart wheels in the grass that surround it.
It was an amazing 5 days and I'm so glad I was able to get away and enjoy myself. I'll post pictures when I get more time.sigpic

I wish everyone had the opportunity to see what you did. Laura & I have talked about going from Charlotte up to D.C. after next years tour & do some sight seeing along the way. I have been there many times over the years but she has never been there. As a Vietnam Marine I never miss the wall when there but Arlington & the changing of the guard is in a league all its own too.
