Arlington National Cemetery

Our first stop this morning (Thursday) was Arlington National Cemetery. Our group was able to tour the cemetery using the Grayline tram. There was a guide on the tram that told us some interesting facts about Arlington. For example there are only two U.S. presidents buried in the Cemetery. Can you name them?
We also saw the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The changing of the guards was very interesting. The tomb is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. My students were mesmerized. Every step they take has a meaning.
