A Few Notes from Today

Today was a very busy day for all of us. We started by visiting where the battle of Gettysburg took place. This was very interesting and very large, so there was a lot of walking to do. We saw monuments of just about every Maine infantry in the battle and some of the more famous spots of the battle. After Gettysburg, we made our way to Washington D.C. There we saw Arlington National Cemetery. This was a very interesting place too. It has ties to the civil war, but also shows all of the people who fought for our country, and their bravery. Then we saw the Iwo Jima memorial. This was much larger than I expected it to be, but it was fascinating. We then saw the memorial at the Pentagon remembering the people who died there on September 11th. This was a very interesting day, and a very busy day. But it was a very good day for the trip.
