I noticed in the video that one of the dinnerware being used is actually from Shield's Tavern even though they are dinning at King's Arms. Are the taverns mixing dinnerware now or what is going on? My personal favorite dinnerware design is the Shield's Tavern dinnerware.

I was here in the 1980s. I was maybe 12 years old at the most. And I got you experience a version of Washington DC and Arlington that you don't get to see now. I mean I could walk right up to President Kennedy's grave I laid flowers on his grave I offered a prayer at his grave I did the same thing at Roberts and we saw the tomb of the unknowns and watch the ceremony. My dad had to take my siblings elsewhere because they were too young to understand what it meant to be quiet and respectful in a place like this. And Arlington House blew my mind. And it's amazing with doing family history to find out that I'm related to Robert e Lee and there's family members buried in the cemetery.
Fantastic documentary. I've visited Arlington twice and I didn't want to leave. I could have roamed those beautiful green hills for several days and still wouldn't have been able to see everything I wanted to see. The men and women who work at Arlington have my deepest respect for ensuring the final resting place of our fallen is treated with the utmost respect and decorum. God bless.
I love the potraits NOW represent their actual existence in realty as individuals in what they represent . Not as constricted succesful people following a MOLD. I love LOVE the Chef Jose Andreas potrait
When my father’s remains were repatriated in 1985, we were given the option of burial at Arlington but we had already waited 19 years to have him come home. Noelle, daughter of Kenneth, Panel 7E, line 31
My Grandfather, a WW II Vet, is buried here. That’s all he ever wanted, was to be laid to rest there, and he got his wish. He was a prisoner of war, and a Purple Heart recipient. Rest in Peace, Grandpa. Rest in peace to all who are there. Thank you all, for your service.
A lot of people may not know, but it used to be a working plantation with slaves before and during the civil war. General Lee used to live in that house that is now called Arlington house. It was in 1864 that the government took it over and turned into what is now Arlington national cemetery
In the early 2000s when I had relatives living in TP, that first house would have been no more than probably $250K. Nearly $600K is RIDICULOUS! Takoma Park was meant to be a working class community, not one that caters to the yuppy, mostly white, upper middle class. There are many different income levels, including middle class, in the area but this is egregious!
From Ireland here. When I visited a few months ago, I was very moved by visiting the cemetery. The expert tour guides who have a genuine passion to serving the cemetery with distinction. They beautifully illustrated that each grave stone is not just a marker, but was someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown solder was surreal, executed with precision. The sentinels who 24/7 guard the post, maintaining decorum and respect are the epitome of selfless military servants. I will truly never forget visiting here
I was born in Waynesboro in 1945 and grew up in California. My mother was born in Luray in 1928 and grew up on the family farm there. I visited my grandfather,, Lester Kibler (who was also born in Luray sometime in the late 1800s), in 1962--he lived on the Skyline Drive--and he showed me around the awesome Caverns! He said when he was a boy, he and a friend played in and explored them. When they were a little older they took visitors on tours--unofficial tours, I'm sure, because there probably wasn't even a national park established yet. I'd love to see this beautiful place again while I'm still on Earth.
There are several organizations that help veterans along their difficult journey when they return from service. My husband and I, in a small way, help one of these organizations. It is such an honor to do so.
