‘It’s larger than us.’ Arlington Cemetery staff preps for Veterans Day
By Molly Weisner
Nov 9, 09:36 AM
Ahead of the national holiday, workers and officials at Arlington National Cemetery talk about the process of preparing the solemn space.
Even on the quietest mornings, when the sun is still low in the sky, the visitor center is empty, and errant leaves haven’t yet been blown off the walkways, Arlington National Cemetery is bustling.
The 640 acres of paradisiacal hills are peaceful and serene, like an impressionist painting. That’s purposeful; the cemetery is the final resting place for 400,000 people who are connected by the bond, and sacrifice, of service to the U.S. military.
