While in Washington we visited Arlington National Cementary. They had put flags on ALL of the graves for Memorial Day. We watched the Changing of the Guard, which was very interesting. We also saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and John F. Kennedy's Grave with the eternal flame. Let's all remember the soldiers that lost their lives for our country as well as the one's that fought in the wars.
