VISIT TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS - April 14, 2011

All came together as the students and veterans prepared to travel to Washington DC to submit the newly completed VHP interviews. It was a bit scary a few days before the trip when we learned that the federal government might close all non-essential buildings due to budget constraints. But, all worked out and we spent a beautiful spring day in the capital city.
