It's such a solemn place, and the Old Guard does a great job of making you feel that way when you visit -- with the Tomb Guards, the changing of the guard, the wreath laying ceremonies. I'm always touched when I visit there.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Explore-the-Cemetery/Tomb-of-the-Unknown-Soldier">http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Explore-the-Cemetery/Tomb-of-the-Unknown-Soldier</a>Response by CW5 Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 9 at 2014 9:20 PM2014-11-09T21:20:34-05:002014-11-09T21:20:34-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member319555<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Too many to list but here's several I have been to.<br /><br />Appomattox<br />Jamestown<br />Yorktown<br />George Washington Birthplace<br />Chancellorsville<br />Wilderness<br />Fredericksburg<br />Spotsylvania<br />Drury's Bluff<br />Manassas<br />WWI Memorial<br />USS Wisconsin (Norfolk, VA)<br />Kings Mountain<br />Fort Raleigh<br />Abraham Lincoln Birthplace<br />Cape Henry Memorial<br />Guilford Courthouse<br />Wright Brothers (amazing memorial)<br />Maggie L.

The one that meant a lot to me was the Andersonville POW camp in Georgia. I had an ancestor that was a prisoner during the civil war and it was cool to know what he went through to survive. Its a great learning experience from history.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 10 at 2014 12:36 AM2014-11-10T00:36:59-05:002014-11-10T00:36:59-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member320007<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are a lot that I have been to over the years, but my favorite is the Monument at San Jacinto, TX; where the "Napoleon of the West" met his Waterloo.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 10 at 2014 10:20 AM2014-11-10T10:20:56-05:002014-11-10T10:20:56-05:00LTC Jeff Shearer3051720<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Brian I have visited more than I can remember but a few stick out and I will never forget. <br />Arlington Cemetery the sign as you enter says it all, "this is hallowed ground"<br /><br />The other was not an official memorial, it was a church in France in the back of the church there was an area where people had written on the walls. Most was in French but a few were in broken English, thanking the US for its help during WWII.
