We arrived at Arlington National Cemetery with time to tour the grounds and to see the last changing of the guard of the day at sunset.
Seeing all those graves gives you the chills, but it also had something beautiful - the repeating patterns of the crosses with the city of Washington DC as a backdrop.
They also began placing the Christmas wreaths on each grave.
We arrived at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier just before the final change of guards - a moving ceremony that takes place every hour when the cemetery is open and every 2 hours when the cemetery is closed (during the winter months).
