Arlington and then DC. I will give it those in charge of remembrance of the fallen, they know how to honour them. To a certain degree it brings it all home, over the years, of those who have fallen in the service of their country marked with a simple white cross in memory. The starkness of the amphitheatre, would love to visit at a time of a ceremony.
What I thought was interesting was the grandeur of a number of headstones in relation to ranking officers as opposed to the low key eternal flame dedicated to JFK and a simple cross to Robert Kennedy. It passed through my mind a DYKWIAM memorial for all time
I found the changing of the guard significant, 35 degree c temperatures, never missed a beat until he was stood down, very impressed.
