Arlington Cemetary and WWII

The Changing of the guard at the Arlington Cemetary takes place every 30 minutes during the day. One officer announces the "change" and goes through an elaborate display of marching, guarding, and inspection of the soldier's rifle.










In addition to the rows and rows of servicemen who have given their life for our country, we
viewed the resting place of JFK, his family and his brother Robert Kennedy. I also by chance, saw the

resting place of Joe Louis, the great boxing champion from around 1940.



We stopped at Iwo Jima (spelling?????) Memorial, near or within the Arlington Cemetary complex.















Then it was off to the new World War II Memorial. Pillars erected in a circular fashion with each of the 50 states listed and multiple quotes from our leaders of the time. This was under construction when we had visited D.C. in 2003
