DC Vacation - Day 4

By now, the weather had cooled off greatly, so our day 4 visit was to Arlington National Cemetery. This Cemetery is huge, and its grounds are covered with thousands and thousands of gravestones.

Among the most famous people buried here are:

John Fitzgerald Kennedy:

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis:

Robert Francis Kennedy:

While at Arlington National Cemetery, we were able to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns. The Tomb is engraved with the words, "Here Rests In Honored Glory An American Soldier Known But To God." The Tomb is guarded 24 hours-a-day and 365 days-a-year by specially trained members of the 3rd United States Infantry (The Old Guard).

After Arlington National Cemetery, we walked through Union Station. Union Station was bigger than I expected. It was full of stores, restaurants, and even had a movie theater. This picture overlooks the food court. If you notice the lights on the left-hand side, near the bottom of the picture, these lights are made by Tim's company, Electronic Theatre Controls, in Middleton, Wisconsin.
