I visited a deceased friend buried in Arlington Cemetery a few days ago and I was rather amazed that the Cemetery was crowded with kids and adults and it seemed like a hundred tour buses. You can get instant service at the main building from experienced polite personnel (who don't wear that smokey bear hat) and a computer map that directs you to the name of the person and the grave site you are looking for. I'd recommend a visit to Ft. Myer. The Army personnel running the Caisson Platoon obviously take pride in what they do and they are an example of what's best in Military Service. You can visit the Caisson unit (check for hours) at Ft Myer and see the horses and the Caisson used in the funeral processions in an informal tour conducted by the Army personnel involved in the operation. I highly recommend it.
