Arlington National Cemetery, once the home of General Robert E. Lee, is the country’s largest militarycemetery. Tours are available for a small fee or you can walk the grounds yourself.
I recommend a visit here. The changing of the guard is a must see. Also several monuments. Be prepared to walk with comfortableshoes it’s very hilly. Plenty of pay parking.
Aside from the obvious of the eternal flame and the Tomb of the Unknown, you should also go see the graves of the Apollo 1 astronauts in the monument to the USS Maine
This is a place to pay respect to the veterans who are interred here, many of whom died to preserve our freedom. You can also find the Tomb of the Unknowns & can see the changing of the guard.
Felt so proud and humble just to be able to walk around the cemetery and also witness the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. No words- so much respect! I didn't even want to breath or talk.
Be aware there are some places which are not wheelchair accessible (like Grant's tomb). Also you should plan on doing a lot of walking. Lee's Arlington House offers a great view of Washington.
If you are visiting a family or friends grave, there is a special van to take you. It’s free, but you have to get a ticket. And the driver gladly takes tips.
Finally participated in 2017's wreath distribution. After living in the Northern Virginia area for 4+ years, hubby and I volunteered to place wreaths on fallen soldiers grave sites.
Probablemente el cementerio militar más conocido de EEUU. Se puede visitar la tumba del soldado desconocido, de los Kennedy y el monumento a los Marines.
Few places are as symbolic in the U.S. as this cemetery. Prepare for a lot of walking in order to see many of the nation's heroes' final resting place.
Absolutely breathtaking. Especially at the Tomb of the Unknown. Guard change is every half hour. It's something you don't want to miss. Even in torrential downpour.
Place of respect and peace. Don´t miss the Changing Guard of Unknows Soldier. Honor the Civil War soldiers, Graet War, Second War, Korea and Vietna. Astronauts of Columbia and Challenger have rested t
Emotional place to visit whether you have a family member buried here or not. Very moving if you happen to be there during a military burial ceremony. RIP American Heroes. Miss you Dad.
Check out Arlington House. So much history behind it. Then take a walk to the Tomb of Unknowns for the changing of the guard -- occurs every half hour.
For a lot of us it is not a matter of remembering we can never forget. Flag Day is June 14th. Learn what the American Flag meant to rescuers in the days and months after 9/11 Leggi tutto
If you have a chance to see a full honors funeral it is the ultimate way to pay respect to those have given so much. They happen at 9/11/1/3 mon - friday. Please remain a respectful distance away.
Go through the Visitors Center and buy a TourMobile ticket. It's soo far to walk. You'll enjoy seeing it more by bus I think! Especially if it's hot!!!
