Summary

"The final resting place for many of America's heroes is located only a few miles from our nation's capital. This high-interest text will take readers on a tour of the cemetery and point out the graves of some well-known patriots, including President John F. Kennedy, Jr. A detailed map guides readers as they locate sections and specific gravesites. Descriptions of ceremonies help readers understand how these events show respect for those who gave their lives in the service of their country. Photographs such as the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns enhance the text."--Provided by publisher
