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

Clydes
Georgetown
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!


grave sites
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
