Houston TX USA."
A lovely colourful card showing this gun carriage with accompnying honour guard at a burial ceremony at Arlington National Cemetary in Arlington Virginia. just outside of Washington D.C. This particular cemetary holds the resting place for over 400,000 active duty service members ,Veterans and family members . This Cemetary originated in The American Civil War and many of its Northern casualties are buried there..Ulyses S Grant was determined to take this particular area of land and use it as a cemetary to bury his Union soldier fatalities as it was the grounds of Robert E Lees mothers home grounds..Robert E Lee being his enemy in the conflict.Thank you Arnold for this swap card .. I visited this National cemetary many times while living in Washington DC.
