May 28 Arlington Cemetery







Cody observing the words of JFK.









Arlington Cemetery was preparing for its Memorial Day Ceremonies.

American flags, just placed the night before, flickered silently among the sea of over 300,000 graves made from Vermont Marble.

We were taken to see the Kennedy burial site, the eternal flame, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the memorial for those who lost their lives in the space shuttle tragedies. We were able to observe the changing of the guard at 10am and the placing of 2 wreaths in honor of people who died serving our country.
