It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the United States of America. Families pack their cars Thursday night, hoping to get out of work early Friday to escape the usual traffic headaches. It’s a great thing to spend some time with family enjoying life, but it’s also important to remember those that enabled the wonderful life we get to live in the USA. To honor those that have fallen and fought for our freedoms, we share this collection of photos from our visit to the new National WWII Memorial in Washington D.C.
If you haven’t been to the National Mall in Washington D.C. recently, it’s a good time to visit. Both the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the World War II Memorial are spectacular to see.

The National Mall was still being worked on in early 2012. We will visit again when it’s complete.
