'As we approached the Lincoln Memorial, I was in awe. Presidents, veterans and many other great historical figures stood there and did great things.' KATHRYN CLAXTON Taylor Green Irwin EMC 'My favorite stop was Arlington National Cemetery. My parents are veterans, and it means a lot to me that the country honors all of those who served and risked their lives.' Amari Forever Young Snapping Shoals EMC BYRON MCCOMBS 'I always knew I wanted to make a positive change in my community, but through this tour I realized that my aspirations can go way beyond the borders of my small town.' Maria Velasquez Altamaha EMC 'The Holocaust Memorial Museum was my favorite stop. Not only did it do a fantastic job of explaining the tragedy, it memorialized the victims in the best way possible. It turns their suffering into a cry for action so that the world never stands by and watches something like that happen again.'
