Tomb Reflections

The peaceful Sunrise or Sunset walks, alone with the Unknowns. Easter Sunrise service in the Memorial Amphitheater with my wife.
Walking the cemetery on my days off, realizing how little I knew (and probably still know) about my Armys and countrys history. But knowing enough to run the circumference of the cemetery to get my papers.
