White House and Arlington

by

Our morning began getting connected with our tour guide, Daniel. Daniel is an experienced DC native and has experience working in the executive branch of the government going all the way back to Kennedy. We’re hearing lots of insider stories as the students of history in the group soak up everything he says.

Our visit to Arlington cemetery was an amazing experience. Too numerous memorials to mention here. The highlight though was the tomb of the unknown soldier. Everyone’s camera was rolling as we were there for the changing of the guard. An average of 20-30 funerals happen everyday in Arlington.

    How exciting! This is a favorite and sad place for me. My father. a fpr,er cpmmander in the US Navy and a US Congressman, is interred in Arlington. His columbarium is to the left on the entrance when you come in the main gate. My favorite place is also the Tomb on the Unknown Soldier. Thanks for the pictures!
