First of all, I do not want to sound snooty, and I realize teenagers need to get all of their drama out somewhere, but please, not at a memorial to one of our nation's greatest presidents. It was crowded.

We were walking around the monuments, and came upon FDR's with no particular expectations. We walked through the various "rooms", reading the inscriptions and thinking about the times that FDR lived through. I particularly liked the I HATE WAR area. Large, broken rocks signifying destruction. And the Depression section was very moving. Members of today's Congress should go there and... More

This memorial, while near the others, is almost tucked away. We've been through several times and never looked at this particular memorial. It was a nice collection of things from the time period.

I didn't even know this memorial existed until a friend of mind told me it was her favorite memorial in DC and it was a must see. It is off the beaten path from the other memorials, but it is well worth the detour and the extra steps. I think this is one of the largest presidential memorials and the... More
