Arlington National Cemetery
by J.S. Burrows
Review by Shayna
Arlington National Cemetery is a place to honor deceased soldiers and veterans. Over 300,000 American soldiers and heroes are buried under "white marble tombstones on gently rolling hills". Did you know that John F. Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery? Arlington National Cemetery is the 2nd largest National cemetery out of 125 across the country. "In 1863, soon after the onset of the civil war, a village for freed slaves was established at Arlington called Freedman's Village." I would recommend this book to 5th graders through 8th graders.
I did not know the national cemetery was the 2nd largest cemetery out of 125 across the country. mark
ReplyDeleteShayna, I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no idea that there were other National Cemeteries in our country! I have been to Arlington and it is truly a very powerful place. Next time I go, I'm going to look for Freedman's Village. Thank you for an informative review! :0), Mrs. Haas
