Lincoln Memorial
The Presidential elections are rapidly approaching – less than a week from the date of this release – and plans for the Inaugural events are well under way and have been for the last year. Washington DC’s famous landmarks are sure to be on the “places to visit” lists of Americans and tourists who will be setting up camp in our Nation’s Capital during Inauguration Week. Some hotels in the area have undergone major renovations and updates, while others organized special events in preparation for the history-making inauguration.
With Washington DC being such a central location, visitors have the option of staying in the city or in one of the neighboring counties. Below, http://www.about-

Once hotel reservations have been made, the social calendars can be organized. The Constitution Ball, The Freedom Ball, The Commander in Chief Ball are just a few of the numerous galas that will be taking place during the week. However, Inaugural events are specifically scheduled for each state, so if participating in these events are in your plans, you will need to make note of when and where your http://inaugural.senate.gov/
And for the all-important Jaunary 20th events, the chronological order in historical precedence is listed below (exact locations are yet to be determined):
Morning Worship
Procession to the Capitol
Vice President’s Swearing-In Ceremony
Presidential Swearing-In
Then all things Inaugural: The Address, The Luncheon, The Parade and, finally, The Ball
Regardless of who addresses the Nation with His first Presidential Speech, lets hope that He, while making His own personal history, recalls our nation’s history and the words of President Abraham Lincoln during his March 4th, 1865 Inaugural Address: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
