General Motors Hall (Henry)

I picked this part because I love transportation.  I also picked this because it is interesting to see the different modes of transportation.  The most important reason though is because I like seeing how people tracked in early American history. 

First Ladies (Henry)

I think the first lady exhibit is interesting to see because of their opinions. It has all of the dresses of the first ladies.  It is interesting to see how the dressess changed over time.

1939 (Henry)

This was very interesting to see the major events in 1939.  Few examples were alcatraz in the wizard of oz.   It was very retro like it was in 1939.

Natural History (Henry)

Because I like looking at ancient things, we went to the natural history museum.  We saw animals and fossils.  The museum was also interesting because it showed the history of animals. 

Jefferson Memorial (Henry)

This memorial commemorates Jefferson, one of the best presidents and men in his era and or all time.  The building has a cement dome on the top, like his in Monticello.  Jeferson wanted many things, like freedom of speech, justice, and literature. 

World War 2 (Henry)

World war 2 was one of the biggest wars around the world.  It was so big, many people died.  For every star, that represents 100 people that died because of the war.  There were too many stars to count.  In the middle, there is a huge water fountain, ever lasting like remembering all the people that died because of the war. 

Vietnam Memorial (Henry)

The Vietnam memorial has a huge grass field with two statues.  The statues are with soldiers and nurses.  The faces are very emotional, showing the feelings of war. 

this is the vietnam war memorial. It has all names of about 58000 people who lost their lives in the war. They will all be loved and remembered.///Ibrahim

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Henry)

24/7 there is always a soldier guarding the tomb.  This is a.sign of repect, for always remembering the soldiers they could.never find.  The soldiers wairt 21 seconds, turn and walk 21 steps.  They hold a gun never facing the memorial. 

This is JFK's grave. He was one of the most memorable presidents ever. His grave is a fire coming out of his stone grave. It is a very interesting grave and reminds us all of the great things he did as president///Ibrahim

The most interesting exhibit on the second floor was the one on American Industrialization. Industrialization changed American society greatly with new technological advances and more cities, buildings, and factories

The most interesting exhibit on the third floor was the one on 1939. It showed the many important events in America in 1939 including the start of the Superman comic strip, Al Capone freed from Alcatraz, the World Fair, and more.

We just went to Arlington cemetery and saw the gravesites of American veterans. The most interesting thing we saw was the tomb of the unknown soldier, a grave constantly guarded by professional military personnel commemorating unknown soldiers killed in battle.

JFK Memorial (Henry)

JFK was one of the best presidents in american history. In the middle of his grave there is a flame.  The flame is ever-lasting, symbolizing his ever lasting rememberence. 

The tomb of the unknown soldier was made to honor the soldiers that died in american wars. The big one is for ww1. There is one soldier buried, and he represents all the rst of them. It is very sad, but gives me pride.///Ibrahim
