The Washington Monument ~ Stands as a lofty and inspiring tribute to our first president, George Washington. It is the anchor on the west end of the National Mall. Few people know that engraved on the metal cap to the monument, towering 555 feet above the ground are the words, "Praise be to God." In addition, several tribute blocks line the staircase, and they are inscribed with Bible verses: "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not; for such is the Kingdom of God" (Luke 18:16), "Search the Scriptures" (John 5:39; Acts 17:11), and "Holiness unto the Lord" (Exodus 28:36); 39:30; Zechariah 14:20).
