United States

The United States Capitol Building is located in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River, commanding a westward view across the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument 1.4 miles away and the Lincoln Memorial 2.2 miles away. At the U.S. Capitol the Senate and the House of Representatives come together to discuss, debate and deliberate national policy; develop consensus; and craft the country's laws. As the nation has grown so has the U.S. Capitol: today it covers well over 1.5 million square feet, has over 600 rooms, and miles of corridors. It is crowned by a magnificent white dome that overlooks the city of Washington and has become a widely recognized icon of the American people and government. The U.S. Capitol's design was selected by President George Washington in 1793 and construction began shortly thereafter.

White House

The White House is where the President and First Family of the United States live and work — but it’s also the People’s House, where we hope all Americans feel a sense of inclusion and belonging.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is part of National Mall and Memorial Parks. The memorial is located at the intersection of Independence Avenue and West Basin Drive SW in Washington, DC, near the Tidal Basin and other iconic memorials along the National Mall.

4

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

A revolutionary presidential memorial that opened in 1997, the FDR Memorial was not a monolithic, white marble structure, but a flowing landscape architecture design. The memorial is designed as a timeline best experienced by starting at the northernmost end of the memorial. Bronze sculptures by several artists depict the longest-serving president and the major issues he dealt with during his presidency including the Great Depression, the New Deal, and World War II. This entry is an overview of the entire memorial with specific attention to the "Prologue" room. For more specific information about each "room" in the memorial, see the following records: FDR 1st Term FDR 2nd Term FDR 3rd Term FDR 4th Term

Lincoln Memorial

Lincoln Memorial, stately monument in Washington, D.C., honouring Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, and “the virtues of tolerance, honesty, and constancy in the human spirit.” Designed by Henry Bacon on a plan similar to that of the Parthenon in Athens, the structure was constructed on reclaimed marshland along the banks of the Potomac River. The site selection caused controversy; the speaker of the House of Representatives, Joseph Cannon, favoured a more prominent spot across the Potomac, maintaining: “I’ll never let a memorial to Abraham Lincoln be erected in that g– damned swamp.” The cornerstone was set in 1915, and the completed memorial was dedicated before more than 50,000 people on May 30, 1922. Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln, attended the ceremony.

6

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the black granite walls are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. The Memorial is dedicated to honor the courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country of all who answered the call to serve during one of the most divisive wars in U.S. history.

7

Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is located in Washington, D.C.'s West Potomac Park, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and just south of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. It memorializes those who served in the Korean War.

8

National Mall

Drive through the national mall and view over a hundred of sites along the way There’s nothing like arriving on the National Mall for the very first time. Seeing the Washington Monument rise majestically to the sky, surrounded by the stately U.S. Capitol Building at one end and the dignified Lincoln Memorial at the other, it’s hard not to think of America’s history. Explore the swath of land nicknamed “America’s front yard” and you’ll find inspiring monuments and memorials, museums and family fun. The monuments and memorials in this park honor American forefathers and heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country. From the “I Have a Dream” speech to the AIDS Quilt, the Mall is the national stage where movements and celebrations take place, where people gather to have their voices heard. READ

Соединенные Штаты

Здание Капитолия Соединенных Штатов расположено в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, в восточной части Национальной аллеи на плато на высоте 88 футов над уровнем реки Потомак, откуда открывается вид на запад, через отражающий бассейн Капитолия США и монумент Вашингтона в 2,2 км. и Мемориал Линкольна в 3,5 км. В Капитолии США Сенат и Палата представителей собираются вместе, чтобы обсудить, обсудить и обдумать национальную политику; выработать консенсус; и разработать законы страны. По мере роста нации рос и Капитолий США: сегодня он занимает площадь более 1,5 миллиона квадратных футов, имеет более 600 комнат и мили коридоров. Он увенчан великолепным белым куполом, возвышающимся над Вашингтоном, и стал широко признанным символом американского народа и правительства. Проект Капитолия США был выбран президентом Джорджем Вашингтоном в 1793 году, и вскоре после этого началось строительство.

18

белый дом

Белый дом — это место, где живут и работают президент и первая семья Соединенных Штатов, но это также и Народный дом, где, как мы надеемся, все американцы почувствуют причастность и принадлежность.

19

Мемориал Мартина Лютера Кинга-младшего

Мемориал Мартина Лютера Кинга-младшего является частью Национальной аллеи и мемориальных парков. Мемориал расположен на пересечении проспекта Независимости и Вест-Бейсин-Драйв-ЮГ в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, недалеко от Приливного бассейна и других знаковых мемориалов вдоль Национальной аллеи.

20

Мемориал Франклина Делано Рузвельта

Революционный президентский мемориал, открытый в 1997 году, Мемориал Рузвельта представлял собой не монолитное сооружение из белого мрамора, а плавный дизайн ландшафтной архитектуры. Мемориал спроектирован как временная шкала, которую лучше всего воспринимать, начав с самого северного конца мемориала. Бронзовые скульптуры, созданные несколькими художниками, изображают президента, находящегося на посту дольше всех, и основные проблемы, с которыми он имел дело во время своего президентства, включая Великую депрессию, Новый курс и Вторую мировую войну. Эта запись представляет собой обзор всего мемориала с особым вниманием к комнате «Пролог». Более подробную информацию о каждой «комнате» в мемориале см. В следующих записях: Рузвельт 1-й срок Рузвельт 2-й срок Рузвельт 3-й срок Рузвельт 4-й срок

21

мемориал Линкольна

Мемориал Линкольна, величественный памятник в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, посвященный Аврааму Линкольну, 16-му президенту Соединенных Штатов, и «достоинствам терпимости, честности и постоянства человеческого духа». Спроектированное Генри Бэконом по плану, похожему на план Парфенона в Афинах, сооружение было построено на мелиорированных болотах вдоль берегов реки Потомак. Выбор места вызвал споры; спикер Палаты представителей Джозеф Кэннон предпочитал более видное место за Потомаком, заявляя: «Я никогда не позволю установить памятник Аврааму Линкольну в этом чертовом болоте». Краеугольный камень был установлен в 1915 году, а завершенный мемориал был открыт перед более чем 50 000 человек 30 мая 1922 года. На церемонии присутствовал единственный выживший сын Линкольна, Роберт Тодд Линкольн.

22

Мемориал ветеранов Вьетнама

Мемориал ветеранов Вьетнама является символом чести и признания Америки мужчин и женщин, которые служили и пожертвовали своей жизнью во время войны во Вьетнаме. На стенах из черного гранита написаны имена более 58 000 мужчин и женщин, которые отдали свои жизни или пропали без вести. Мемориал посвящен мужеству, самопожертвованию и преданности долгу и стране всех, кто откликнулся на призыв служить во время одной из самых противоречивых войн в истории США.

23

Мемориал ветеранов Корейской войны

Мемориал ветеранов Корейской войны расположен в Западном Потомакском парке Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, к юго-востоку от Мемориала Линкольна и к югу от Отражающего бассейна на Национальной аллее. Он увековечивает память тех, кто участвовал в войне в Корее.

24

Национальная аллея

Проедьте по национальному торговому центру и осмотрите более сотни достопримечательностей по пути. Нет ничего лучше, чем попасть на национальный торговый центр в первый раз. Глядя на монумент Вашингтона, величественно возвышающийся к небу, окруженный величественным зданием Капитолия с одной стороны и величественным Мемориалом Линкольна с другой, трудно не вспомнить об истории Америки. Исследуйте полосу земли, прозванную «передним двором Америки», и вы найдете вдохновляющие памятники и мемориалы, музеи и семейные развлечения. Памятники и мемориалы в этом парке посвящены американским предкам и героям, которые пожертвовали собой на службе этой стране. От речи «У меня есть мечта» до «Одеяла о СПИДе» торговый центр — это национальная сцена, где происходят движения и праздники, где люди собираются, чтобы их голоса были услышаны. ЧИТАТЬ
