Arlington National Cemetery

The Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery is a
very somber and respectful ceremony. It is also a study of devotion, skill and training. You can not
help but come away from this ceremony with a new level of respect for those that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

I also didn't realize that they hosted other country's military units by allowing them to lay a
wreath at the Tomb of the Unkowns. While we were there, it was the Royal Norwegian Navy that was given that honour.
