Travels Down South

As part of an extended USA trip, we visited NYC and Washington DC, specifically Central Park across from the Dakota where Lennon was shot, the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery with the JFK memorial.  It's staggering to note that over 50,000 soldiers died in Vietnam, and that's just the Americans.  The assassination of JFK was one of those events that I still remember clearly for some reason.  And Lennon.....  It's all just so sad, and such a waste.
