For a job well done serving the country, some might get towering memorials or staggering monuments commemorating their achievements forever; others get their face on a fish.

In today鈥檚 episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re exploring a hilarious and obscure monument in Southwest D.C. that takes the last name “Fish” very literally.

Dedicated to a former regional director of the National Park Service in the D.C. area, these fish heads were commissioned as a tongue-in-cheek retirement gift to Manus “Jack” Fish.

Often mistaken for President Jimmy Carter, this pair of obscure structures is definitely a conversation starter 鈥 if you can find them!
