US National Memorial Arch to the original Continental Army - EXPLORED

            A perfect photo to add this Memorial Day in the US.  

The United States National Memorial Arch was erected in the early part of the 20th century on the road where soldiers marched in to Valley Forge on December 19, 1777. The monument commemorates the arrival and the sacrifices of General George Washington and the Continental Army at Valley Forge during that winter of the American Revolutionary War.

The monument was designed by Paul Philippe Cret, being a simplified version of the Arch of Titus in Rome (81 CE) which marked the capture of Jerusalem by Emperor Titus in 70 CE. In the classical tradition, a triumphal arch of one or three openings was erected to honor generals or emperors. This memorial arch with its single opening is classically proper as a national tribute to General Washington and the army he led.
