A proud 2016 Summer look at Arlington National
Cemetery ... that 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 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.
This solemn national shrine is an active cemetery
conducting between 27 and 30 funerals each week day ...
and is a living memorial to our Nation's heroes ... that
is a must experience when visiting Washington, D.C.
