Every grave in the cemetery has a U.S. flag placed on it. This photo is from section 33. The graves appear to be mostly from World War I.
Naval Construction Brigade ("Sea Bees") Memorial: "The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a bit longer."
Civil War Memorial
"Beneath this stone repose the bones of two thousand one hundred and eleven unknown gathered after the war from the fields of Bull Run and the route to the Rappahannock. Their remains could not be identified, but their names and deaths are recorded in the archives of their country; and its grateful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. May they rest in peace. September, A.D. 1866."
And finally, a view from Arlington House looking down to the Memorial Bridge crossing the Potomac with the Lincoln Memorial at its end. Rolling Thunder motorcycles are still crossing the bridge to the Viet Nam memorial 2-1/2 hours after it began.
