Arlington Cemetery

While I was out in Washington DC over the weekend, I stopped by Arlington Cemetery to visit my grandfather's gravesite. He was buried there with honors in 1990, and this was the first time that both my wife and I had been back since, and the first time that my kids had ever been able to go to Arlington. He is buried in a part of the cemetery called the Columbarium, a section of Arlington specifically set up for cremated remains...

The wall where my grandfather is located:

His marker:

I'm just sad that my grandfather never got to know my two daughters

i agree, the inside of the house is cool and i learned a bunch about the house on a tour of it back in middle school.

I would have liked to have a couple beers with your grandfather and his grandson.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
