 A little bit of pre-planning, a little bit of patience. We are going to move everyone through those stations and get everyone home safely and have a fantastic day. We're hearing the Lincoln Memorial will be closed on July 4th. This is because of safety concerns from anticipated crowds, as well as limited access by the ongoing construction there. The plaza and lawn by the reflecting pool will be open as usual, so you can see the fireworks. The memorial steps and chamber will reopen on July 5th.
