Jacob's itinary today

Sorry, for those interested, here is his day:

-Board your motor coach for Arlington National Cemetery. Once there, you will walk among thousands of fallen soldiers honored by their country for their service.
-Make your way up to John F. Kennedy’s gravesite to observe the Eternal Flame
-View the wooden cross marking the grave of Robert Kennedy
-Witness the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and understand the impact each soldier’s life has made on this country
-Visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum where you will experience the exhibit: Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story. “Daniel,” age 10, is a composite of the Jewish children who experienced the war.
-Soak in the history as you stand in the spot where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I have a dream …” speech at the Lincoln Memorial
-Take some time to reflect on the morning’s events while your group departs for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
-Explore another Smithsonian museum on the National Mall—The National Museum of the American Indian
-From there you will explore another Smithsonian museum on the National Mall—The National Museum of the American Indian
-Get the scoop at the Newseum, an interactive experience that blends five centuries of new history with modern technology and innovation
-Watch the cool night air settle around the feet of the soldiers as depicted in the Korean War Veterans Memorial
-Lay a commemorative wreath at the World War II Memorial before making your way to dinner
-Participate in your nightly leadership meeting upon arrival at the hotel

Sounds like Jacob's dream come true. What a day he has ahead of him!
