Description - Where Valor Rests by Rick Atkinson
This New York Times bestseller is a beautiful tribute and guide to the Arlington National Cemetery with special value to members of the military, visitors to the cemetary, and those who have loved ones buried there.
Arlington National Cemetery spreads across the rolling hills west of the Potomac, a serene and reverent sanctuary for the presidents, soldiers, and heroes-famous and unsung alike-who lie in eternal rest among its green lawns and quiet glades. It is a roster dating back to America's birth and including many of the foremost names in our history.
Bittersweet, breathtaking, sometimes heart-wrenching, always deeply respectful, this commemorative book guides readers gently over tree-lined slopes to share the ceremonies observed throughout the year, from the traditional wreath-laying on Memorial Day, which enshrines centuries of sacrifice, to the moving graveside services that honor individual men and women who served our country. Captured in stunning color by a select group of gifted photographers, these unforgettable images create a portrait as poignant as it is proud.
