United States Submarine Veterans of World War II Memorial

Pros: very affecting, the poem "Remembering", close to New London/Groton/Mystic attractions
Cons: small

As the shipmates assemble, The ceremony unfolds... They are here to pay tribute to men On eternal patrol Having made that last dive Remembering them as they were then. Sometimes the smallest and simplest of places can be the most powerful. ...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: Nothing but weather. Would stand in pouring rain to see this.

We were in DC on the Memorial weekend when they dedicated this memorial and returned the following year in July. It was well beyond hot. As a matter of fact, so hot folks were taking off their shoes and sitting with their feet in the reflecting pool. ...

Pros: Great part of history.
Cons: Who can say anything bad about history be grateful.

Any time I have visited any war memorial site I think to myself wow. I am currently in the United States Army and I think that anyone should feel honored to visit one of these places because these are the people that made it possible for all of us in today's society to walk down the street as free people. I think a lot of people sometimes overlook what the soldiers did during this war and how technology was different. This was a very difficult war and I am here to say these guys did the hard work and having been to Iraq I feel honored even though it doesn't compare but to be associated with such an elite group of individuals from a different time era. Thank you to all of those that serve in our armed forces you are never forgotten and will forever continue to be a band of brothers.
