Arlington National Cemetery
A beautiful and very large cemetery! We took the shuttle bus and toured the cemetery. We saw the burial site of JFK and his family, watched the changing of the guards and wandered around the cemetery.
Arlington National Cemetery has evolved from a place of necessity
to a national shrine to those who have honorably served our Nation
during times of war – including every military conflict in American
history – and during times of peace. The cemetery is the final
resting place for more than 400,000 active duty service members,
veterans and their families. “Service to country” is the common
thread that binds all who are honored and remembered here.
