Here are some impressive pics of Arlington Cementery. Dallin is "reading" JFK's speech in which he states, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".


The eternal flame that burns at JFK's and Jackie O's tomb.
This is the tomb of the unknown solider. This is where the changing of the guard takes place. One guard walks along the black path pictured above for one hour and then the changing of the guard takes place. The process is taken very seriously. Those present at the time of the changing of the guard are to remain silent the entire time. The tomb is guarded 24 hrs. a day 7 days a week rain or shine, snow or 90% humidity.
