Alexander ArceJune 17, 2014Where Heros rest! It is an eye opener for sure. Many are just kids that made the ultimate sacrifice to this great nation. It is no irony it overlooks DC.

Huge place, you can walk all day. Tomb of the unknown soldier was solemn and a great place to reflect upon all who have defended our liberty
Angela MillareApril 22, 2013Changing of guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is pretty cool and remember to pay your respect by refraining from talking. Use inside voices and cellphones on silent!

davinMay 1, 2011Bring your handicap parking placard into the visitor center to get a pass, and drive through the cemetery instead of parking at the visitor center.
Ken HalleniusJanuary 14, 2012The building is totally unmarked, but it's immediately to the right when you turn into the visitor's parking entrance.
Bring a flag and plant it in remembrance as a token of thanks to all who lay here as heros.
