FREEDOM IS A LIGHT FOR WHICH MANY MEN HAVE DIED IN DARKNESS


Post an impromptu design meeting at an Engineer's office: I decided to walk back to my office by way of Washington Square. I was really taken with the Revolutionary War Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was great weather, the breeze was blowing and the sun was shining through the trees while Washington stands guard over the eternal flame. It's amazing to think those people lost their lives 230 years ago so that we could be free.

IN UNMARKED GRAVES WITHIN THIS SQUARE LIE THOUSANDS OF UNKNOWN SOLDIERS OF WASHINGTON'S ARMY WHO DIED OF WOUNDS AND SICKNESS DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR

"THE INDEPENDENCE AND LIBERTY YOU POSSESS ARE THE WORK OF JOINT COUNCILS AND JOINT EFFORTS OF COMMON DANGERS, SUFFERING AND SUCCESS"
