So hubs, Aaron (marine buddy), and I made the 2hr drive to Philly this past weekend... I'll show you with some fun pictures/captions.
Feel free to click on any photo to view in higher resolution.
Because you can't go to Philly without getting a Cheesesteak!
Of course we had to go to the site where they founded the Corps!
Military Hall Museum - Marine Corps Remembrance Statue
"Their duty done - The valiant rest"
Independence Hall, The Declaration & US Constitution were drafted, signed, and read the the public for the first time here.
[My dad is a retired firefighter, and hubs trained to be one during high school... so we go to every firefighter museum, etc...]
Actual pieces of an FDNY truck/hose from 9/11
Amazing stained glass window, the quote beneath:
"The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant die but one."
I hope you all got to enjoy time with family/friends this past weekend. We also went to the beach, had a BBQ, and watched the National Memorial Day Parade on TV... we said a prayer during the Moment of Silence for all those who had lost love ones to war.
