Arlington Cemetary

The JFK grave has not changed any over the years. Bobby Kennedy is buried 50 yards to the south on the same hill. He hasa simple cross and his name on a small stone. Ted Kennedy's grave is to the left of Bobby's and looks exactly the same. To the left of that is a monument to Joe Kennedy who was killed in WWII when his plane exploded over the English Channel. He was on a very dangerous mission. His plane was laden with explosives abd he was to get it started toward his target and bail out, letting remote control take over. Something went wrong and the plane exploded before he could bail. His body was never recovered but he does have a humble monument next to his brothers.
Audie Murphy was the most highly decorated soldier in WWII, including a Medal of Honor. His grave is just west of the structure where the Tomb of the Unknowns is.
Murphy survived the war and went on to star in some movies. He was killed in a plane accident or perhaps it was a car.
Visiting the Tomb of the Unknowns and watching the changing of the guards is an emotional experience. These soldiers stand out there walking their post rain or shine. Afew years ago during a hurricane they were ordered to stand down in the interest of not getting killed by flying debris. The disobeyed orders and walked their post through the hurricane.
There are three bodies of unknown soldiers entombed. One from WWI, WWII, and Korea. There was one from Vietnam but he was identified by DNA and his family wanted him diinterred and moved home.
Not far from the Tom of the Unknowns is the grave of JoeLouis. He was heavy weight champ for 12 years. The Brown Bomber served during WWII.

Smithsonian

There is so much to see in the museums on both sides of the National Mall I cannot possibly mention everything. I will list that which stands out. Mueum of Natural History: a huge stuffed elephant that dominates the rotunda, dozens of dinosaur skeletons, the Hope diamond, gemstones galore, and Egyptian mummies. Museum of American History: the section on civil rights from 1863 to 1963, the stories of Medal of Honor winners, the section on America at War, the section on Thomas Edison. Air and Space Museum: the Wright brother's plane, all the Apollo space stuff about how we went to the moon, the section on telescopes, the section on aircraft carriers, the section on taking photographs from the air. This last sectio n covered everything from the first pictures taken from the air in baloons and from cameras strapped to the bellies of birds to pictures taken from modern satellites. Of all the museums...

The Battle of New Orleans

The Battle of New Orleans was fought in late December, 1814 and early January, 1815, culminating in the final battle on January 8. The Americans, a ragtag bunch, made up of some regulars and some militia, plus volunteer free Blacks, Creoles, Natives, and s few French pirates We’re led byAndrew Jackson. The British had more soldiers and they were better armed and better trained. However when the final battle was over the British had suffered 2000 casualties and the Americans less than fifty. It was one of the most lopsided battles in the history of warfare. Ironically the battle was fought after the Treaty if Ghent had ended the War of 1812. The Americans victory ensured that the British would honor the terms. It also propelled Andrew Jackson into the awhite house. The pictures above were taken at the battlefield. A tell oblisk monument marks the center of the battlefield. The other picture is if the rai...

New Orleans and the Mississippi River

I had a hard time getting my head around the fact that the Mississippi flows through New Orleans from west to east rather than north to south. The river dominates the city. It actually winds through the city in a “u” shape. The right side of the “u” actually flows south to north. They don’t use the cardinal directions: north south east west. Instead they say up river downriver toward the river and away from the river. They also talk about before aKatrina and after Katrina. I took a riverboat down riverfive mikes to where the Battle of New Orleans was fought in 1815. I took some pictures along the way including the dukes that are supposed to keep the river under control.
