Monument Monday - A Recap
Is there a town in America with more monuments and memorials than Washington, DC? I doubt it.
So with so many of them, it’s easy to miss a few, so here’s a recap of Monument Monday posts from the past few months. 
- The Washington Monument - Just 897 steps to the top.
- The Albert Einstein Monument - Brains to the power of 12.
- George Washington Masonic National Memorial - The Freemasons, that mysterious group of founding-fathers.
- U.S. Navy Memorial - Dedicated to the fighting sailor.
- Vietnam Woman’s Memorial - the unrecognized heroes of the Vietnam War.
- The Titanic - Memorializing one of the worst maritime disasters in history.
- The FDR Memorial - A New Deal for America.
- U.S. Air Force Memorial - Off we go, into the wild blue yonder.
- The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial - The Original Rough Rider - “Teddy”.
- The Lincoln Memorial - One of America’s most important Presidents, he saved a divided nation.
- The Jefferson Memorial - “Hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
- The Vietnam Veterans Memorial - 58,000 names, 58,000 lives cut short.
- National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial - Since the first killing of a police officer in 1792, more than 17,500 more have died in the line of duty.
- And in case you missed last Monday’s The DC Traveler, I wrote about the National World War II Memorial, dedicated to America’s greatest generation.
And yes, there are tons more — some big and well-known, some hidden away and mostly forgotten. So keep tuning in to The DC Traveler on Mondays for more Monument Mondays.
