The Arlington National Cemetery is a special place that holds much history. A day spent on the hallowed grounds of this cemetery is like a walk through U.S. history. Many great Americans are buried at Arlington Cemetery : Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (male and female) from the Revolutionary War to Afghanistan and Iraq Two presidents, John F. Kennedy and William H. Taft Supreme Court Justices WWII Medal of Honor recipients Astronauts Explorers Robert R. Scott Audie Murphy Glenn Miller Margariette Higgins And many more. There are 63 foreign nationals buried at Arlington Additionally, there are numerous memorials of significance: Tomb of the Unknowns Operation “Just Cause” Panama Lockerbie Scotland Air Disaster USS Liberty Beirut Grenada USS Serpens USS Stark Persian Gulf War A place to give thanks and honor. Good journeys!

For anyone who wants to just take a detour from the whole Washington DC siteseeing, while still sightseeing and doing lowkey.
It is so calming and surreal in the National Cemetary. I mentioned to a friend when i was there that it felt as if I was in an alternate world. The tranquility, the sereneness and the beautiful landscaping almost makes you forget you are in a cemetary

A peaceful place to visit and reflect on life and history. For many of us - whether you're a foreign tourist or an American - life goes on largely without incident, and we enjoy travelling the world freely. Places like this serve as reminders that many others have fought, died or struggled for the freedoms we take for granted.

You get a sense of patriotism at this place. It's quite peaceful. The best part about this event is seeing the changing of the guards at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If you have a friend or family that died in the great war, make sure to bring a pencil and paper to emboss their names from the wall.

This is by far the coolest thing you'll see in Arlington. It's my favorite place to go (aside from the Smithsonian) in the DC area. It's somber and a good reminder of why we are the top nation in the world. Kennedy's eternal flame is there and watching the changing of the guards is AMAZING!
