Before we left Virginia we took one last Washington D.C. trip. We took a tour of the capital building, went to Arlington Cemetery, and then took a tour of the Pentagon. It was fun to see some new things in D.C. that we hadn't seen before. Coleman was amazed at how many white head stones there were at Arlington. He kept saying, "Look, they go on forever and ever and you can't see the end of them." It truly is an amazing sight and makes one appreciate how many people have served this country. The Pentagon was ok. It was kind of a short tour, but we were able to see the memorial from the crash on 9/11. All in all it was a great last D.C. trip, for now at least.
Hopefully Secretary of Defense is not in this young man's future, or politics at all for that matter.
The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Pretty darn impressive!
It truly is amazing how many have died in the service of our great country. I wish I had that type of courage.

Coleman looks very official behind that desk! What a great experience for him.
