Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington National Cemetery is a profoundly moving and historically significant site. Visiting the cemetery offers a chance to pay respects to the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. military. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and the serene atmosphere invites reflection and appreciation. Highlights include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the changing of the guard is a solemn and impressive ceremony. The rich history and solemnity of the site make it a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand and honor the sacrifices made for the country. It’s a poignant reminder of the cost of freedom and a beautiful tribute to those who have served.

For 10 years, I've been a volunteer for Wreaths Across America, laying wreaths on the graves of the veterans, and every year, I have that same sense of duty to honor those graves that I place a wreath by saying their name aloud and thanking them for the sacrifices made. Having grandparents and godparents interred there make the day even more special. The number of volunteers seems to grow every year. A nice community service for families.

Very beautiful experience, would recommend to come on a cooler day, it does tend to get really hot. But besides being hot. It is a very big cemetery, and beautiful to explore. I loved to see it all, the ceremony, and including the history

Walking through the cemetery, you can feel the weight of history and the sacrifices made by countless individuals.

This was an impressive place to go. See on the rows and rows full of memorials to so many people who gave their lives for our country and others. Seeing the tomb of the unknown soldier of J. F. K, it's just it puts things into reality and in perspective Being able to watch the changing of the guard was really something. It is definitely worth the trip.If you come to DC and check things out.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Such a peaceful, humbling feeling throughout the entire grounds. Staff gets everyone through efficiently. Area is well maintained. I recommend a whole day. It was a LOT bigger than we expected and there is a variety of amazing things to explore.

It was on the bucket list to visit, and we did. Veterans pay only $8.95 for a trolley tour, which we did. So much history, so much respect for our heroes. Very well kept grounds. Thank you. Easy parking too. Must visit.

If you want to do a full tour of the cemetery, make sure you have at least a good half a day. You can do a walking tour (not recommended because it is on a 639 acre land) or trolley tour. You can also see just the welcome center.
