Your favorite monument / memorial on the National Mall?

I’ve been there once when my kids were 2 & 6. It was cold and late so we only had time for the Wall and Abe.

FDRs should be blown up

Never been, but my favorite monument at the Alderwood Mall is the food court map.

History is written by the victors. Winners win.

Ahem I went to public school. NoVA rowing is like the biggest public school gay rowboat area in the cuntry

We smoked weed and talked shit to the prep school bitches we raced against

So many great TV and movie row boat scenes on the Potomac @whlinder

This is my wheelhouse. Lived in DC for 14 years now. Still go down and walk around the monuments during off-peak/season tourist hours.

Lincoln and Washington are biggest and most iconic, but my favorite is FDR because it’s off the beaten path and tranquil. Never a million tourists there like the others. You can walk through it without fighting throngs of jackasses posing for stupid pictures. You can see the progression of the United States in murals from the Depression through WW2.

I also like Vietnam even though it gets crowded, it never seems touristy. It’s a somber place and you can feel the nation’s heartache.

WW2 is cool, but doesn’t have the same power and feeling as Vietnam. It’s also not as powerful as Lincoln.

Korean, like the war itself, is kind of forgotten among the other monuments. Not worth the time.

I can hardly look at a pic of the Vietnam Memorial without tearing up.

I went to the Vietnam wall with my Dad (RIP) who lost many friends there and the raw emotion of that experience will be with me forever. So Vietnam it is.

Lincoln is powerful stuff though. I am sure it will get cancelled and torn down soon. I'm hearing he didn't solve slavery quickly enough. Better see it quick.

Also, all jokes aside the Native American Museum is pretty good. Give it a look if you are ever down there. My uncle panhandles and verbally assaults catholic high school kids out front.

Is there a room in the FDR memorial dedicated to throwing Americans isn’t prison camps? That would be pretty tranquil.

Did you know the Rona flu has killed more Americans than died in Vietnam? #grimmilestone

Nope. Just like there is no room in the Washington monument dedicated to Washington trading in slaves. But you knew that.

Cool false equivalency. Where is Washington’s government policy on slavery?

FDR made is racism into policy that didn’t previously exist. It wasn’t just a moral failure that was common at the time.

But you knew that.

HTH.
