The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial on the National Mall in DC

These are photographs I took of the statues that make up the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial on the National Mall. I used my Canon EOS 50D SLR with a Tokina 12-24mm wide angle lens and a Canon L-series 24-105mm short zoom lens. The background music pieces are "the Battle Cry of Freedom" and "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home Again."

Thank you U.S. Grant for being the general with the courage and strength to win. In many ways, Grant was the person who saved the Union.

@TigerRifle1 well I know that of course but I said that because he was basically going against the world...sorry for the misunderstanding.

@360gamer4life12 Hitler didn't want to rule the world. He wanted the allies to pay for the Versailles Treaty.
