Going to the Arlington Cemetery was quite humbling. Since it was Memorial Weekend there were droves of veterans walking around paying tribute to their fallen brothers. There are sections of the cemetery that go as far back as the American Revolution and Civil War. Two presidents are buried there: Kennedy (which I got to see) and Taft. I was also able to catch the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknowns which is done every 30 minutes of every day year-round. T
he cemetery had placed an individual flag on every single tombstone (the tour guide had stated over 300,000 are buried at the cemetery). As I walked along the tombs, I was fascinated to read about soldiers who had participated consecutively in World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars (many awarded the purple heart). On this day, I thank these soldiers for their courage and dedication. I will always remember. Sue
