Walking around in the cemetery I was alone among the dead, yet I could feel them, thousands of them, watching my every step - Fallen warriors from nearly every war our country has ever fought in since the civil war. They gave up their lives believing that they could make a difference; hoping that they would be remembered by grateful generations to come.

Many died in action, and others died years after returning home. Some died gloriously, and some were slaughtered in vain. Now, together they rest in eternal peace in this beautiful place. They are all heroes - Our heroes.
