Visiting Arlington, viewing the changing of the guard, visiting the grave site of President Kennedy and reading the tombstone names if so many American heroes is sobering but also generates a visceral sense of gratitude. We are reminded why we remember and honor all of the men and women who serve and defend our democracy.
Loved this Tour!

Brenda was an excellent guide and knew the history very very well!
Her attention to detail and concern for all members of our group was excellent. Favorite parts of tours were the changing of the guard which included a wreath ceremony and the early wars of independence in the museum.
