Tickets are free, but go early... they were gone by 10:30 the morning we were there. At 555 feet (and 1/8"!) it is the tallest observation point in D.C. While we were at the top, a National Park Service ranger announced that he would be conducting a tour "down the stairs" for anyone interested. It takes about 45 minutes but, is well worth it. During the construction of the monument states, cities and patriotic societies were solicited for memorial stones. A total of 193 stones adorn the interior of the monument.

Friday evening parade at the United States Marines Barracks, 8th and I Streets, Washington D.C. - June 2007 : Thanks to our FAVORITE Marine (Busan) we get great seats for the Friday evening parade at the oldest active Marine post in the United States. We were entertained by members of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band, "The Commandant's Own" The United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, the Marine Corps Color Guard, the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, Ceremonial Marchers, and Sgt. Chesty XII, the official mascot of Marine Barracks Washington. The selection of the location of Marine Barracks Washington was of national and strategic interest. President Thomas Jefferson accompanied by the second commandant of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant Colonel William Ward Burrows, searched for a suitable location to station the Marines within proximity to the Washington Navy Yard and within "an easy marching distance of the Captiol." For more information please see: http://www.mbw.usmc.mil/
