[Mostly] Wordless Wednesday - A Little Patriotism & Links

Well, hello there!  I thought with today's proximity to 9/11, a little patriotism might be called for today.  These photos are from my trip to Washington, D.C. over Veteran's Day weekend in 2010.  There was some sort of rally going on, a motorcycle rally (some awesome machines there!), and it was a holiday weekend, so the place was insane.  It was still fun, though.  One of these days maybe I'll post some pictures from the White House tour.  (I've posted two of these before...in my "post only one photo at a time" days.

The White House from a distance. 

Part of the National WWII Monument. 

The other side. 

Respect for our soldiers. 

Washington Monument. 

Lincoln Memorial from the WWII Monument.

Close-up of the pillars at the Lincoln Memorial (with all the five gazillion people there). 

The Great Emancipator, himself. 

You all know this one, right?
