This mammoth monument to America\'s first President and foremost founding father casts a long shadow over Washington – but for a long time it\'s place was in doubt.
One of the quieter, reflective corners of the Mall, this memorial carries the name of every single soldier who died in America\'s most controversial war.
This Memorial houses a statue of the President who took a stand against slavery – and who had just started to heal the nation, when he was brutally assassinated.
