Reflections

Washington, DC is probably one of my favorite places for many reasons, such as the unique sights that are unlike anywhere else. I don't know who the person in the picture is, a daughter or relative of a soldier whose name is on this wall or maybe just a visitor like me, but she seems solemn and introspective which is what happens when you see how many names are on this wall memorializing a war that was/is as controversial as the war we're currently fighting. Whether she knows a name on the wall or not is irrelevant, she could know someone who doesn't have a wall for his name just yet. Controversy aside, the reflection of a national monument on this wall is a reminder of what these men gave their lives for.
