Where Heros rest! It is an eye opener for sure. Many are just kids that made the ultimate sacrifice to this great nation. It is no irony it overlooks DC.

Very moving visit to Arlington National Cemetery . Huge place, you can walk all day. Tomb of the unknown soldier was solemn and a great place to reflect upon all who have defended our liberty

Angela Millare

Changing of guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is pretty cool and remember to pay your respect by refraining from talking. Use inside voices and cellphones on silent!

Great place to park if sightseeing in the city ... Just park in the deck and walk across the bridge to all the memorials.
