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 PM 2014-11-09T21:20:34-05:00 2014-11-09T21:20:34-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 319555 <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.

Most was in French but a few were in broken English, thanking the US for its help during WWII. I kick myself for not getting a picture Response by LTC Jeff Shearer made Oct 31 at 2017 7:10 PM 2017-10-31T19:10:55-04:00 2017-10-31T19:10:55-04:00 2014-11-09T21:13:24-05:00
