A proud 2016 Fall 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.
