President James A. Garfield memorial is on a roundabout in front of Capital building. I was not sure if I was ok to walk over there. However it is fine because I have visited his resting place in Westlake Cemetery in Ohio. President James A. Garfield is one of four USA presidents that were assineted as presidens. Everybody know about Kennedy and Lincold, however fever people know about James A Garfield (1881) and William McKinley (1901). Rest in peace my friend.

Lovely statue and memorial to one of the very few presidents assassinated in office. Great setting with the Capitol in the background. Looks great, even on a hot and humid July day.
