Across the Potomac River from Washington D.C., lies this nation's most sacred of grounds, Arlington National Cemetery. Upon these hollowed grounds are buried some of our nation's finest from as far back as the Revolutionary War to today. Some 310, 000 men and women call Arlington their final resting place. Here lie two of our nation's Presidents, honored statesmen, explorers, literary figures, Chief Justices, and Astronauts. From our Generals and Admirals to the common soldier and sailor rest here as do some 3, 800 former slaves who fled to freedom call Arlington their home. It is their stories that beg to be heard, stories of courage against insurmountable odds, of love of brother and country, and of sacrifice. Stories of hopes and dreams and choices made during adversity. It is thru these stories that we to can learn that one person can make a difference and that thru valor and bravery the course of this country and the life of each and every one of us has been changed. These noble souls, who reside here, still live with us, and bid us to think of life, not death and to listen and learn what they have done who now rest in Arlington.
