Arlington National Cemetary

In the Arlington National Cemetary more the three hundred thousand people are buried on its vast six hundred and twenty four acres.  The cemetary began during the civil war at the Arlington house where General Robert E. Lee and his wife Mary Anna Curtis Lee lived.  The cemetary is divided into seventy sections.  On top of a large hill overlooking Washington D.C. is the famous Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is dedicated to all of the unknown men that have died in a war.  I would have loved to have been able to explore more of the of the cemetary, and that it hadn't been so cold.

 The Kennedy Eternal Flame is located at the gravesite of President Kennedy.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the most popular sites to visit in the Cemetary.
