avenue and note its beauty. Visit the capitol and let your chest swell
out with pride that you are an American. Visit the tomb of General Grant
and the thousand and one magnificent statues scattered throughout the
city. Visit Annapolis and West Point, where the leaders of the nation's
navy and army are trained. Walk over the battlefields of Fredricksburg,
Gettysburg and Lexington, and let your mind speculate on the events that
made modern history.
