Perfect Viewing for Veterans' Day.



I strongly recommend National Geographic's Arlington: Field of Honor

In the course of an hour, you get a behind-the-scenes look at the people who serve at the Cemetery and the careful rituals used to honor the deceased and the grieving on this most sacred plot of land.

You will come away with a strengthened appreciation for the National Cemetery and admiration for all those who make it what it is. Must viewing.
