The Cemetery

The cemetery is beautifully laid out and was required to be "pleasing to the eye". There are 5,500 graves here with 101 unknowns, 2 Medal of Honor awardees, and one female nurse. We arrived just as it opened so we stood at attention and saluted as a 3-gun salute, taps and the star spangled banner was played over this solemn site. It was very moving.
