The Jefferson Memorial honors Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. It is located near the White house, the U.S. Capitol building, and other memorials. This wonderful Memorial has even more beauty added to it due to the cherry blossom trees given to Washington, D.C. by the city of Tokyo in 1912.
