What I don't think our pictures, or any pictures I've ever seen, convey....is the Vastness of Arlington. It's just immense.
We walked to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and JFK's memorial, and could see the Pentagon in the distance in one section we were in.
It was a quiet and reverant place to visit.
It's also the place where the Run for the Fallen will finish up the cross-country run to honor our fallen heroes from OIF on Final Day Event: Sunday August 24
We hope to make it up to Arlington again, for that final day of the run, but I also noticed last evening on the Run for the Fallen website that on Day 63,August 16, the Run will be quite close to us here
RFTF.Day63.Aug16.Waynesboro, VA to Shannon Hill, VA (49.81 mi.)
and there is a link on Flickr to the fallen heroes that the Run will be honoring that day HERE
If you haven't checked out the Run for the Fallen Website? take some time to look over it HERE
