The Marine Corps War Memorial
“In honor and in memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who have given their lives to their country since November 10, 1775.” The Marine Corps War Memorial can be found on Marshall Drive between Route 50 and the Arlington national Cemetery in Rosslyn. Every single name and date of every principal Marine Corps. engagement is burnished onto the base of the statue along with the inscription “In honor and in memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who have given their lives to their country since November 10, 1775”, in honor of the fallen U.S marine Corps members. News photographer Joe Rosenthal witnessed and photographed 6 men raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The picture won the Pulitzer Prize, and then later on became the symbol of the war effort in the Pacific that was used by the American government to sell war bonds and to promote the war effort. It was Felix DeWeldon who later on created a life size model of the photograph, casted into bronze and brought to Washington D.C in September 1954.

A flagstone walk along with stone pillars of the front of the building offers a warm welcome to owners and visitors. A large Japanese maple at the corner of Mt.

Bountiful apples and history in Blue Ridge.

Lawn and apple blossoms
Named after the Blue Ridge Mountains and just above Piedmont, Blue Ridge is a part of the Appalachians. Many tourists patronize Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive in Blue Ridge. “Memories of a Lewis Mountain Man” portrays how unique culture and life was for “hill-billies” or mountain people in Blue Ridge before Shenandoah Park.  Even today, remnants of the said “hill-billies” are being sought after by Appalachian hikers as they trek through the Shenandoah Park. Apple Orchards are famous in the region but the industry is no longer booming as it was years ago. Yet again, White House Foods, a major apple juicer and product packager, still gets their supply of apples from this region.
