When I was younger I got the chance to take a trip to see my cousin graduate at Georgetown University and while my visit we traveled around Washington DC. One of the coolest monuments there is the Lincoln Memorial. Honoring the 16th President Abraham Lincoln, it was dedicated in 1922 and is still one of our countries biggest historic landmarks. Before even walking up the stairs in the front you look up and just see this giant marble sculpture perfectly smooth and almost flawless. One meaning that comes to mind is that it proves our nations history and how it still stands, as well as honoring one of our presidents. As of 2007 the Lincoln Memorial was ranked 7th as best architecture structures in America.
