Arlington Cemetery<br />
I am one of the lucky visitors to Arlington Cemetery. I am not there to visit a relative; I am<br />
not there to lay a rose, or to weep at the sight of a cold stone, which marks the familiar name<br />
of someone I know personally or a family member that I heard stories about. I am there only<br />
to pay respect to those who gave their lives fighting so that I can live in freedom. I do not hold<br />
only one name in my heart.<br />
There are so many names on stones, and yet, so many stones without name. For all of<br />
the 2,111 unknown soldiers who fought during the Civil War, WWII, and the Korean Conflict I<br />
would like lay a wreath. And for all of these soldiers unnamed who died with pride, I would like<br />
to lay a wreath. For all the men and women whose graves are marked with a single cross, and<br />
for all those markers with no names. I stand for them. I would be honored to lay a wreath in<br />
their memory.<br />
