Memory at the Memorial


The penny is worth 1 cent.  We may not realize the value of a penny just like we might not realize the value of Abraham Lincoln and that's why the government built The Lincoln Memorial, the place where many people come and remember what a great president he was and what things he did for this country. With ending slavery as his main goal he did just that. The Lincoln Memorial is a very unique building with an ancient roman design and a 19 foot high sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in a curl chair. The Lincoln memorial was a lot bigger than I expected it to be. In the Lincoln memorial his most famous speech is carved in one of the stone walls: the Gettysburg Address. Earlier in the trip we saw the place were Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address.
