Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery







The pictures can really speak for themselves, but wow, what an experience. The parking ramp was filled, so we had to park quite aways away. We walked somewhere near 5 miles in dress shoes and got ridiculous blisters, but it was so worth it to see what we saw today. Arlington on a normal day is an incredible testament to the cost of our freedom and the celebration of some of the best people our country has ever seen. Today, it was beyond that. When we got to the lot shown above, it was overwhelming. So many people spend all day with their families, or alone, just sitting at the graves of those they remember- their heroes, our heroes.
