Arlington National Cemetery Millennium Expansion Flyover
Arlington National Cemetery is currently 624 acres. Over the next several years, Arlington’s footprint will be increasing, with additional space for both in-ground and above-ground burials, thereby extending its life for several decades to come. The Millennium Project is a 27-acre parcel of undeveloped land from Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the National Park Service, and existing ANC land. This parcel is included in the cemetery’s current acreage. The Millennium Project began construction in early 2014. This animated video is an artist rendering of the project.
For each of these projects, planning includes important considerations for interment options, visitor accessibility, environmental impact, roads, utilities, and other issues that not only ensure maximum use of Arlington’s burial space, but also ensure a smart and successful expansion.

Arlington National Cemetery - Summer 2016
A proud 2016 Summer look at Arlington National Cemetery ... that has evolved from a place of necessity to a national shrine to those who have honorably served our Nation during times of war, including every military conflict in American history, and times of peace. The cemetery is the final resting place for more than 400,000 active duty service members, veterans and their families. ‘Service to country’ is the common thread that binds all who are honored and remembered here.
This solemn national shrine is an active cemetery conducting between 27 and 30 funerals each week day ... and is a living memorial to our Nation's heroes ... that is a must experience when visiting Washington, D.C.

Fely Franquelli: Filipina Buried at Arlington National Cemetery
Today I went to Arlington National Cemetery, just across the Arlington Memorial Bridge from Washington DC, to look for the final resting place of Fely Franquelli, a Filipina dancer and actress from the 1930s and 40s.
Her most notable movie is one she did with John Wayne and Anthony Quinn titled Back to Bataan wherein she plays a freedom fighter and the sweetheart of Anthony Quinn's character, Andres Bonifacio.
Born in 1922, Felicidad Fely Franquelli married a US Army surgeon named Howard Joseph Hutter and then moved to the United States. She died in 2002 and is buried next to her husband at Arlington National Cemetery.
While at Arlington National Cemetery, I also visited the final resting place of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States and his Wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. President Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963.
Finally, I visit the grave of the most decorated soldier of World War II, war hero and movie star Audie Murphy. Audie Murphy won many awards for his bravery and skill in the field of battle, and in 1955 he chronicled it by playing himself in a motion picture about his wartime exploits titled To Hell and Back.

Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington National Cemetery is an American military cemetery established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House (also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion). It is directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., north of the Pentagon. With nearly 300,000 graves, Arlington National Cemetery is the second-largest national cemetery in the United States.
The Tomb of the Unknowns, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, stands atop a hill overlooking Washington, DC. President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife and some of their children. His grave is marked with an Eternal Flame. His brothers, Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, are also buried nearby. William Howard Taft, who was also a Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is the only other President buried at Arlington.
Other frequently visited sites near the cemetery are the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, the U.S. Air Force Memorial, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, the Netherlands Carillon and the U.S. Army's Fort Myer.
The Pentagon
The Pentagon in Arlington is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. It was dedicated on January 15, 1943 and it is the world's largest office building. Although it is located in Arlington, the United States Postal Service requires that Washington, D.C. be used as the place name in mail addressed to the six ZIP codes assigned to The Pentagon.[94]
The building is pentagon-shaped in plan and houses about 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel. It has five floors and each floor has five ring corridors. The Pentagon's principal law enforcement arm is the United States Pentagon Police, the agency that protects the Pentagon and various other DoD jurisdictions throughout the National Capital Region.
Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. It has 17.5 miles (28 km) of corridors, yet it takes only seven minutes or so to walk between any two points in the building.

Watch my Exploring American Values Tour here:
PLEASE READ. I was on this trip with the United States Embassy to London as an observer about life in America. Part of the trip included Memorial day in Washington DC at the Arlington National Cemetery, a day that we were told to pay particular attention to respect in association with the event, during which President Trump was to make a speech.
Please let me make myself very clear. I am not a supporter or fan of any politician. The whole point of this Exploring American Values tour was not for me to pass judgement, and so you’ll not find any comments along those lines from me in this video. As a diverse group of British Public Diplomats on a trip as guests of the US Embassy to the UK, our sole purpose on this trip was to observe. I hope you understand what I’m saying and not jump to any ludicrous conclusions about me ‘taking sides’. I was in America to observe, not judge. ????????
