I had never heard of this place until I was looking at the map for the area Charlotte and I had planned on visiting on our trip, and saw it noted in red there. I am so, so glad we decided to make it part of our itinerary. We started off at the visitors center, where we saw this scale model of the entire place. Since I’d never heard of it, I wasn’t expeting it to be just as huge and moving as it was.
Standing on the upper level of the memorial. I’d been in tears several times during the tour by this time – just so moving.
