What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than wandering the Avenues in our countries infamous Arlington National Cemetery?
There are rows and rows of white tombstones carrying the names of our men who have sacrificed for our country. Many, many of them died in the line of duty.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
The tomb is guarded continually, 24/7 around the clock, and around the years by Tomb Sentinels. Later Anna Lyn will blog all the information that she garnered today from talking with one of them. In this photo we see the Changing of the Guard. Quite a lot of pomp and circumstance! And very serious and solemn.
Memorial for the members of the Space Shuttle Challenger
Memorial for the Space Shuttle Columbia
John F. Kennedy
grave site with eternal flame
Home of General Robert E Lee, built by his father-in-law, George
Custis
The Pentagon can be seen from the cemetery
It was a sobering experience hiking around the cemetery, and a thankfulness to all of those who have fought for our country welled up within each of us.
