Incredibly informative and very peaceful. We followed the advice to walk the whole thing and use the $5.00 ipod tour. It makes the world of difference. Be sure to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to experience the reverence displayed for the men who have fallen in many wars. more

From the rows and rows of perfectly aligned headstones to the graves of the... more

Our visit was Thursday, November 29, 2007. Going through the visitors center, be sure to pick up a map. You might be tempted to buy a Tourmobile ticket to tour the cemetery. My advice is don't if you can walk a mile or 2 (more if you want to walk along every single drive) and the weather is not extreme.... more
