We managed to get fired up and attend church at Bethany Lutheran. It’s always interesting to see the nuances that are different at other churches. Joel especially liked the singing. Alleluia.
It’s warm here and humid.
A little regrouping and lunch and we set off to Arlington. After a bit of stumbling about (via downtown DC) we arrived.
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. –Prov 22:28
We first visited Grandad’s grave. He served God by serving his country. He stood at a time when he was needed and rests with many of the same.
Much has been said and written about Arlington and our experience was not sufficient to properly represent it to you. To really soak it in would probably require weeks if not years. And to consider that it represents a tiny fraction of humanity that has come before us.
We made the hike to the Tomb of the Unknown. Lydia needed a break but others were impressed by the ceremony. We managed to see 2 changes and then watched them lower the colors for the day.
The new guard is inspected.
