Yesterday we enjoyed a great breakfast to get us started, followed by Mount Vernon, boxed lunch meal, Arlington where 4 Root students presented a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Kennedy Gravesites, Iwo Jima and a first for Root Middle-Pentagon Memorial. Later in the day we visited Vietnam, Lincoln, WWII, and Korean memorials. It was a jam packed day and so successful. After that the kids and staff got to unwind at Funland.
Today is Gettysburg on our way home to the 330.
Going to try to go live soon for wreath laying. No promises. Going to do a few tests at Kennedy gravesites. Stand by….
