... had heard of Arlington National Cemetery for long time, it is well-known because of its significant history to US people.

first time have been there during my trip in DC 2 weeks ago. it is really a huge place there, i was very impressed by hosting so many "unknown/unnamed" graves all over the hill, but at the same time i feel so sorry for so many braved soldiers died during the war times...

Thanks to the massive help of US military forces stationed in Japan.  Despite the sad history, I am glad that we are friends now.

...since I rode the Metro blue line to work during my DC years.  On a few occasions when the office closed early I would get off the Metro at the cemetery and spend a while paying my respects to the fallen.  It is an amazingly beautiful place. 

Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers,

there is basically a sad story behind every tomb, and most likely a glorious one too.

thks fr sharing.

best, Horo

... hope all these sad stories can help remind us how sad of those wars we did in the past... we shouldn't have such stupid thing to happen again.

Went there last summer. Anyone goes must see the changing of the watch at the Tomb of The Unknowns. One must also remember that there are numerous funerals everyday. Must of them are full honors consisting of the Caison, a Band, Honor Platoon, Color Guard and Casket Bearers. All services are represented, Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC and sometimes Coast Guard. These processions start at the back gate at the Chapel on Fort Myer. If you go set aside at least 4 hours for your visit.

Hello bandchief,

Thanks for sharing the info!
