< previousDay 6: April 17, 2014
What better way to spend our last day, than to take in the honor and valor of Arlington National Cemetery. We stood in awe at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, visited Robert E. Lee's former home, learned how a plot of vengeance created the cemetery and viewed the JF Kennedy Memorial. Because we flew out of different airports, some of us went to the African American Civil War Museum and others enjoyed the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum.
We have taken in many sights, sounds, and experiences; learned about our heroes that prepared the way before us; discovered by example, a little of what it means to be an American, being willing to serve our country, our community, our neighbors, our families.
We have had a wonderful time together. We hope everyone returned safe, a little bit exhausted and a whole lot inspired.
