Arlington National Cemetery is considered one of the most sacred places in America. Every year more than four million people visit the cemetery to pay their respects to our fallen heroes. The documentary starts with the founding of our first national cemetery during the Civil War and tells of its growth into our Most Hallowed Ground. We will learn about the state funeral of John F. Kennedy on November 25, 1963 and the creation of the Tomb of the Unknowns, the heart and soul of Arlington National Cemetery. There is beautiful footage of the Tomb Honor Guards performing their special duty and details of a Full Honors Military Funeral. We conclude our visit with a look at the cemetery today and some of the many monuments dedicated to those who proudly served our country in time of war and peace. This special Teachers Edition includes an interview with Michael Patterson, historian and expert on Arlington National Cemetery. Mr. Patterson shares additional information about the cemetery and how to learn more about our rich military heritage through recommended research websites.
