A short 5-10 minute walk from where I live...and I was at the Arlington National Cemetery.
In the distance, across the green lawn, and through the trees, I could see the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial.
It is a huge statue and today it was surrounded by a crowd of Veterans and their families.
Over the hill you enter the Arlington Cemetery. For Memorial Weekend each marker has received a flag, more than 320,000 flags were placed.
Walking down to the entrance to catch the Metro back home.
Across the Potomac River I could see the capitol building, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. And summer has arrived in DC.Thank you to all those who are serving or who have served in our U.S. Armed Forces and to their families. Thank you for the freedoms I enjoy every day. God Bless America.
