100 years of Walter Reed in photos

Walter Reed Army Medical Center this year is celebrating its 100th year of tending to wounded warriors. Official ceremonies aren't scheduled until the end of April, but the staff there just set up a new web site for the centennial celebration.

Among the interesting features is a photo gallery with a mix of historic and recent shots of the famed hospital -- Below is one of President Warren Harding shaking hands with a wounded soldier at the campus in 1921.

The gallery isn't as expansive as another one of historical military photos that I know about, but it's definitely worth a visit.
