Dc Vet's Day Ride
Hey all, just a quick photo post of my Vet's Day ride in downtown DC this morning. Gorgeous day for it, happy Veteran's Day to all, especially those who served.

The Korean one gets me. I go there, generally on Memorial Day, at dawn.
Those guy walking through paddies in the early morning fog are dead on, walking ghosts.

They're amazing memorials. I was there once- last year, I didn't get to spend quite as much time as I'd have liked around all the areas and the Smithsonian buildings...
I was unaware of the WWI memorials- including the privately funded 1st and 2nd INF monuments.
Thank you for the pictures.
