Arlington Cemetary

I start the day by queuing up to get a free ticket to do a tour of the Capitol building. It leaves me with an awkward time to kill between then but I decide to head to Arlington Cemetary. This place is the Military Cemetary and is quite an eye opener as you walk in and can see white graves as far as the eye can see. Also here is JFK's grave and his brother Bobby. I check out JFK's grave and then head to the grave of the Unknown soldier. There is a ceremony going on as I show up with some high school kids placing a wreath - The bugler plays Last Post and then everyone troops off. There also is a plaque with tributes to the 2 space shuttle crews (No NASA jokes please). I head back in to town but realise I have no way of making it to the Capitol building which is a shame. Never mind - maybe next time I am in the area.
