On This Day in History...

May 30, 1922…The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington, DC. Lincoln's only remaining son, 79-year-old Robert Todd Lincoln, was in attendance.

I have had the opportunity of visiting the Lincoln Memorial on several occasions and still an awestruck over the size and magnitude of this statue. 

The best experience I ever had of visiting it was at night time with a group of friends.  We were all in Washington, D.C. for a meeting and since several had never been to D.C. before, we took off exploring in the snow.  This is absolutely magnificent after the sun totally goes down.  Notice the size of the people in front of the statue.
