Humbling.
We came across this beautiful resting spot for many unknown soldiers from our wars. Very old gravestones, which make you wonder about the stories behind the names of the fallen. The building was closed when we were their but would be an excellent side trip to learn about it. Stopping at the National Cemeteries when we come across them and driving thru has become a habit of ours, a time to silently thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great country we live in. God Bless America!
