The Bilbreys' Go To Washington, D.C. 2003

On Saturday, February 1, 2003, Brian and I set out to go to our Nation's Capitol for the first time since we moved here in August!  Yes, I know-- it took a long time but at least we finally got here!!

This is where the Vice President, Dick Cheney, and the 
Senate have offices.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The Statue for the Women who served in the Vietnam Conflict

A sobering experience to read the names . . .

 . . . knowing that there once was a person who was young and alive, serving his country as ordered.
