The Lincoln Memorial is known by many as the site of Martin Luther King's speech, the insiration for "Legally Blonde's" Elle, and where Forrest saw Genny for the first time after the war. The memorial is a large seated sculpture of Lincoln with inscriptions of two well-known speeches given by Lincoln. One of my favorite memories from my last trip to Washington was with two of my friends as we sat on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial near midnight and saw the Washington Monument perfectly aligned on the Reflecting Pool.
