Day 6 Remembering the Past; Building the Future

Our first activity for the sixth day will be visiting and laying a commemorative wreath at the National World War II Memorial. The World War II Memorial is dedicated to commemorating the 16 million brave men and women who served overseas and at home in the war.

Next we will have an exclusive pre-opening breakfast at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. The Smithsonian was made to explore the vastness and complexity of American history. The link below takes you to their website:

Finally, to end the sixth day, we will take a trip to watch a live performance at one of these world famous performing venues: John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Arena Stage, or Ford's Theatre.(I'm not sure why they put three different ones??)

I would like to let everyone know that I have met my tuition deadline and now it's fully paid! Thank you to everyone who donated or helped me in any way. I couldn't have done this without your help. This took a lot of stress and at one point I was doubtful i could meet the price. Now we're here and I'm very happy to say I don't have to worry about that anymore.

 If you're not following me yet,  my twitter account is ABBuehler1. I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures on my journey and post them on my twitter. I also will put them on here in case you don't have Twitter.

 Again thanks for all your help. I'm so excited!

Day 5: Understanding U.S. Government

Hello. 

The first part of the fifth day on my People to People journey starts with us exploring the Capitol's visiting center while also learning about the branches of government. These include: Executive (President), Legislative (Congress), and Judicial (Supreme Court). Congress makes the laws. The Supreme Court evaluates them, and the President carries them out. (Chart below)

Next we will go to the Newseum, a place where we can explore the stories that made history and learn about free press through exhibits and events. Made in 2008, the Newseum was established and supported in part by the Freedom Forum. It's a 501c3 public charity funded by people, foundations and corporations.

Lastly, we'll wrap things up and have a leadership meeting.

I'd also like to mention I sent thank you notes today to everyone who donated. I double-checked.  However, if you do not get one, contact me on my gmail account: abbuehler1@gmail.com. 

I will also be having my last garage sale on the 16th.  (Thank the Lord). It's at 725 Caulks Hill Road St. Charles 63304. It's from 7:00 to 2:00.
