2012-07-21 thru 24th Springfield IL
While in Springfield IL we visited the Abraham Lincoln Memorial in the Oak Lawn Cemetery
It is very impressive
It was gratifying to see so many younger people visiting
Abe's copper bust outside the tomb has a shiny nose
At some point it became good luck for those that touch it
We saw many people pose for pictures while rubbing Abe's nose
This tradition keeps the copper from corroding and keeps it shiny
Throughout the tomb there are sculptures that depict different
times in Abraham's political life
We also visited the Illinois Vietnam war memorial in the Oak Lawn Cemetery
What a GREAT surprise!!
We got a call from our good friends Terry & Linda from the KC area.
They were 30 miles from Springfield, IL, on their way to Chicago and wanted to stop by and visit....
