2015 Kansas 4-H Citizenship Washington Focus: Day 8

We started off the day with some breakfast at the 4-H center. Then we headed for Arlington National Cemetery, where we watched the changing of the guard and were able to see the eternal flame of JFK. All of us wished we had more time because the cemetery gave us a better understanding that Freedom is not free. When we arrived back at the 4-H center, we went into congressional session, where everyone was treated as representatives and we passed and failed bills we had created earlier in the week. It helped us learn how to write, argue, and debate on bills. For dinner, we went to an amazing dinner theater called Toby's. The play we saw was called 1776. It was about the writing and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
