We have had a wonderful day!!! A long flight, but we met our tour leaders, and got on the bus and went to Arlington. JFK's tomb is so impressive, especially for someone who "remembers the day." The Tomb of the Unknowns was equally astonishing, and our Winston students made the three of us so proud. Because of the Memorial Day weekend, there were a number of wreaths being presented.
Our experience today was topped by Matthew's conversation with a Vietnam Veteran. One chaperone quietly and emotionally witnessed him go out of his way to thank the gentleman for his service and say that, "after what I witnessed today, I just have to tell you how much I appreciate what you've done for all of us."
We look forward to seeing Mt. Vernon and the Monuments/Memorials tomorrow. Enjoy the photos!!!
