Better than Arlington Cemetery!

One of the more overlooked historical sites in Alexandria, it's one of the first national cemeteries, the wooden chapel has been replaced by a stone house, but the flag pole is still there.

Alexandria National Cemetery dates back to 1862. It is a 5.5-acre site operated by the US Veterans Administration.

Always sobering

I have been to the local state veterans cemetery, many on-post cemeteries, a few battlefield cemeteries,and several national ones, including Arlington. I always come away reminded of the imensity of the loss we have suffered as a nation, to enjoy the liberties so many take for granted today.
As was stated, may they rest in peace, and may they and their sacrifice never be forgotten.
