It's always great to see this iconic memorial in person. I asked several students where they might have seen this memorial before with just a few exclaiming that it's on the back of a penny. A student digs deep in their packet and others swarm around, "Oh yea, it is!" I point out that the memorial is also on the back of a $5 bill. It was almost as if they never noticed! Here's another of Daniel Chester French's sculptures. A name very common on this trip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Chester_French -G
