tomb of the unknown soldier

tomb of the unknown soldier

One most see things to do at at Arlington is the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier.  I didn't have the best seat in the house for picture taking so sorry about that but you get the idea.  everything about the ceremony is very military very exaggerated and very serious   Being a former military member myself I can appreciate this but for anyone that isn't part of that I think it is important to know that this is one of the highest honors someone can receive and least we not for forget all our unknown soldiers in this world.  they were someones child, someones loved one and all of our fighters for freedom in this world   regardless of what your beliefs and their own beliefs on war and conflicts a soldier of all armed forces fight to keep us free.
