Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, Antonin G. Scalia, and David H. Souter. Seeing places in person, put images seen on TV into a geographical perspective.

At the Pentagon Metro Subway station, I went above ground to look around and take a few pictures. After taking 3 pictures, one of the Pentagon Metro Sign, side of building and Pentagon bus station I stated walking back down to the Metro station, A guard started yelling at me to come over to his station post. I complied. He then asked me what I was taking pictures of. I told him just the subway sign and bus station. He then pointed to a sign posted at his guard shack, that said "No Pictures are Permitted". I apologized to him. He then took my camera and deleted my pictures. I asked him where the plane hit and he said it was on the opposite side of the building. I went back down to catch the next subway, feeling fortunate to not to be cited or loosing all my trip photos. They do give public tours of the Pentagon on certain week days.
Geroge Washington University Hospital entrance. The same hospital where Reagan was taken to after being shot.
The Foggy Bottom - GWU (George Washington University) Metro stop is right here at the hospital entrance.
Walking south down 23rd Street checking out the sites of GWU.
I was kind of a surprised that I stumbled across the State Department. I was not looking for it.
The 23rd Street side of the "Department of State". I did not see Colin Powell.
Department of State at 23rd Street and C Streets.
C Street is barricaded and constantly guarded with heavy patrol vehicles that block egress to this street.
I'll walk closer to get some pictures of those gold sculptures.
Walking past the back side of the Lincoln Memorial where I found "Wisconsin" inscribed at the facade top.
