Nico,
As a junior high kid (maybe it was seventh grade?) our class went down to D.C. I was picked out of all the kids to participate in the laying of the wreath. Some stuff you'll always remember, and that's certainly one of them. I was proud and honored, still am, but didn't remember how many steps.....
Don't know if they still do that for classes, but D.C. is still an amazing and inspiring place to visit. Everyone should.
I do remember one of the guards making fun of my knees knocking.....
Steve
P.S. HBO has an excellent series running called John Adams, based on Historian David McCullough's work. Have you caught any of it? Excellent and accessible stuff on the revolution and the founding of the Union.
