We have seen throughout this walking tour of our nation's Capitol,
the belief that our Creator IS the source of American liberty.
In response, our nation has a unique and silent way to worship God
each morning.

It is poignant and fitting that the first rays of sun that illuminate our
Nation's Capital each morning first fall upon the eastern side of the
tallest building --- The Washington Monument --- the 555 foot tall
monument to the Father of our country. And there on its top,
where they are for the eyes of heaven alone, inscribed on the eastern
side of the four-sided aluminum capstone are the Latin words, from
Psalm 66:20, "Laus Deo", which mean ---

"Praise be to God!!!"
