Arlington Cemetary at Sunset

On the bus getting ready for our own personal tour. We were the last group allowed in and it was just us 5. Tiana, Ashley, Tyler, Ted and I.
There is Ted sitting so he can visit with the tour guide and not sit on a wheel well. If memory serves me correctly over 380,000 people are buried in this cemetary. I asked how you get to be buried in there and the answer was 1. If you are killed while in active duty (so on the battlefield, or walking to work and getting hit by a bus) 2. Served mored than 20 years in the Military 3. Received any of the Military Honors. There are a few Presidents buried there and also those who died in space.
The tombstones went on forever and ever. Very precise and orderly.


I loved the view of this picture.



Tiana being her cute self.
