Pangie Went To Washington, Dcc

That great river, the Potomac. Means so very much to me. In our nation's capitol,it's full of American history and glory! As a teen, our high school visited that famous city in this great American nation.  Such an excited class with Samsonite luggage  at that train station! All dressed in nice skirts and sweaters. Actual, leather shoes, made in this nation. Nuns for companions, they were good women and kind And of course, to be sure, we stayed morally in line. The monuments, granite and marble, took your breath away. Pride in my American soul, will never stray. Of course, I am aware how some Americans and others cannot see through my eyes. To them..America and its citizenry are something to despise! I stood at Lincoln's overwhelming feet and I had to just smile. Because from that moment on, I became, forevermore.... America's blessed child! 4/1&/2021

Hello Paaracternagiota, I like the monuments of all kinds. I enjoy to visit them. Every one sees the monuments differently. Some really like them and some do not. They all have a different characters. I like the expressions on their faces. Hugs Darlene xx

You might like it. Shows the early British colonies. Lots of wars there to set people free from slavery. I don't think Americans understand this. Thanks to our educational system which is worse now than ever. Horrendous lies on TV daily Oy! Pangie xx

Corrected due to typos... Glad you liked it, Tom. I did and do mean every word in it. Thank you for allying me a patriot. A much maligned word these days. I was on my night shift! I see all the errors above. Apologies.. Pangie xx
