Todd,
Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them. I am going to have to go to the Marine Museum.
Years ago I was in Arlington as part of a Civil War Tour. During our visit, we had to wait to go into the area we were supposed to tour as there was a funeral procession about to pass. It was very moving. They had the horse drawn caisson and the riderless horse.

Thanks to both of you. I still have to display my WWII Memorial photos from February. Sigh! I'll get around to it someday...

I guess I should have called this my TAD (temporarily assigned duty) trips instead of Arlington and DC. Here are pictures form my trip from the last few days (Sept 28-30). These are of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego. There are only two MCRD's in the Marine Corps; the other being in Parris Island (like in Full Metal Jacket.) I hadn't been there for almost 15 years, but beside the PX, not much has changed. Here are a few pictures, the rest are here.

Some really great and interesting pics there Todd. This limey knows of Arlington of course but I enjoyed seeing it too! Also the USMC base - very impressive.

Thanks for the glimpse Todd. Have never seen it before. Always a pleasure! Like the comment on the one, "shined by..."

Saw Arlington Cemetary twice, both times I watched the Guards walk their post. Puts a lump
in your throat and blink your eyes a couple of times to remove some wetness. Rocky
