We went on a tour of Arlington National Cemetery. There is not a lot of ceremony in American culture. One of the few places that clings to ceremony is the military. I was glad to see that there was definitely respect shown for those who fought and died while in military service. While I may not always support a war or military spending or arms proliferation, I do respect those who are or were in the military. We went to the tomb of the unknown soldier, and saw the changing of the guard. Pictures are allowed, as long as spectators are standing and are silent.
