Description:

Visit the Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam, and Iwo Jima Memorials. Take an extended stop at the Arlington National Cemetery with a guided tour of the final resting place of many of America's most revered patriots. Also view the White House, Jefferson Memorial, and more from the comfort of your motor coach.

The anchor experience of the tour is a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the United States' most hallowed ground. Today, more than 300,000 soldiers and their families as well as 2 US Presidents are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Tram narration relates accounts of heroism and personal sacrifice as you ride between important sites, and makes stops at the Kennedy grave sites and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you may see the Changing of the Guard occurring every half-hour.

Take a moment of reverence at the Lincoln, Korean, and Vietnam, Iwo Jima Memorials. The statues of the soldiers depicted in the Korean Memorial are life-size and seem to conjure up the idea that the soldiers are determined to trudge through, even in the face of exhaustion.

The Vietnam Memorial pays tribute to those who served with the wall of names. This charming black- marbled wall seems to go on forever with names, offering an opportunity to reflect on the lives of Americans who died in the Vietnam War.
