The photos he sends are awe-inspiring.

If you can, post them.

IMHO, they should be seen by more Americans, more often.





Arlington Plantation was the home of Robert E. Lee's father in Law, As he was often away on duty with the US Army his wife lived there ,and when her father died she inherited,and the couple continued to make their home there. During the Civil war it was used as a US Army hospital and the first soldiers buried there were intended to be an insult to Lee for refusing command of the US army and serving the Confederacy. After the war General Lee donated it to the United States as a final resting place to honor ALL American Soldiers  who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs.
