There was a Wikipedia meetup in Washington DC on May 7-8, 2005. Initially, we met up at the US Navy Memorial around noon. We then split up, and spread through the city to take lots of pictures for us on Wikipedia. Later, we met up at Brickskeller, for dinner and chatting. Afterwards, we crossed the street to sit in a park, and discuss forming an American chapter of the Wikimedia foundation.

Inscription
After the meetup, Danny walked us across the street to a nice little park and we talked about the American meetup. In back of us, there was a stone slab with the following inscription (which Danny had us duly note for posterity as well as checking to see if the author had an article on Wikipedia)
Here is the inscription you wanted:
:Our soul shall never perish
:freedom knows no dying
:and the greedy cannot harvest
:fields where seas are lying
:Cannot bind the living spirit
:nor the living word
:cannot smirth the sacred glory
:of the Almighty Lord
--Taras Shevchenko, The Caucasus, 1845
