The United States Marine Corps War Memorial represents this nation’s gratitude to Marines and those who have fought beside them. While the statue depicts one of the most famous incidents of World War II, the memorial is dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in defense of the United States since 1775.

2-4-2022 – monuments

I took a photo of this boulder for the scavenger hunt, but then realized it has a memorial plaque on it, so I went back today and took another photograph (this time with my trike in it).

Rockwell Field in on the Lyon Park trail, Fillmore Park, between Rte 50 and N. Fillmore St., in Arlington, VA

The plaque reads:

“For many years, Harlan and Ruth Rockwell owned this land and made it available to the community as a park. In 2010 Ruth sold the property to the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust for a fraction of its value. In 2011, the Trust donated these parcels to Arlington County with the stipulation that it be forever public parkland. This plaque recognizes the Rockwell family for conserving this important community open space.”

Yesterday’s ride included Francis Lewis Park at 147th Street and 3rd Avenue in Whitestone, Queens, NY. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the US who signed the Declaration of Independence. My elementary school was named after him as well as a major street in Queens.

I grew up in Whitestone and Beechhurst. As you know, the schools were usually called by their numbers, not their names. I went to kindergarten in PS 79Q. We moved late in that school year from Whitestone, south of the Cross Island Parkway, to Beechhurst, north of the parkway. I went to PS 30Q which hasn’t existed since about 1960 from 1st through 3rd grades and then PS 193Q from 4th through 6th grades. (That was Alfred J. Kennedy school.) I then went to JHS 194Q (William Carr).

Zoomed out photo in the scavenger hunt thread, because today I learned that Woodrow Wilson was one of two U.S. Capricorn presidents.
