When friends from out of state visit – you TOUR D.C. !

First on their list – Arlington ad the Tomb of the unknown –

and the family grave site of JFK & Jackie !

We decided to drive on this first day –

parking at Arlington National Cemetery!

We did the tour bus –

where you get off and on !

The grounds were quiet –

the birds were chirping

the solitude

This was a must on their expectations !

We explored all the family graves

then it was back on to the bus

and up the hill

stopping every so often

for explanations on different markers !

As we pulled in – the quiet was striking !

People walking –

going about in their silent ways !

It is a place to be quiet –

standing still

gazing upon a ritual

that has been going on since 1948

24 / 7

365 days of the year

We owe this all in gratitude

for our freedom

we have today
