If I may:

I've been to Arlington National Cemetery. It's on a par with Antietam for a place that overwhelms you.

I have also been to Arlington... for the burial of a friend's son... who was killed by an IED they hit, on his last day there..... Afghanistan I believe... He had called and was scheduled to come home the next day... everyone was so elated... instead, we went to a funeral... That place makes you realize just how insignificant we are in some ways...
