I liked the Korean War Memorial blog. I thought the statues looked eerie — those men would have walked among us, had they not gotten pulled to Korea.

The Korean War Memorial is just a lifeless movie still of soldiers recreated in stainless steel and shrubs. It has about as much artistic merit as a prison tattoo. Don’t support public kitsch, regardless of what it purports to commemorate. Skip it altogether and visit the National Gallery instead.

it is a balance of boring and interesting. I think you should have combined the posts together to make things go by quicker. All the museums and monuments in one and all the memorials in another would work better.

But thank you for your efforts.

Change the Vietnam post please. I’m not a big fan of revisionist history.
We were not defeated.

I’ve never been to Washington DC but have always wanted to take a trip up there just to go through all the museums and such. It sucks they wouldn’t allow pictures in the Holocaust museum!

The memorials aren’t that interesting just because they are so sad and depressing to me and I’m not a person to dwell on it!

I would love to see more food related posts again, though. ;D

i am not *that* interested in the memorials, but i had never heard about this one before so it was somewhat interesting.
