Another recommended site in DC is the Arlington National Cemetery. It's not just any cemetery, it's where we bury our soldiers, our heroes. Some of the things to see here is the burial site of JFK, the tomb of the unknown soldier, and memorial to the Challenger/Columbia disasters. To see the highlights, you need about an hour or two on foot. You can see a bit more in 3. Any more and you're paying extra for parking. It's a bit of a schlep from the DC side across the Arlington Memorial bridge from the Lincoln memorial, but a lot of tourists do it. Also near the cemetery is the Marince Corps War Memorial, aka Iwo Jima statue.
