Movie Reviews of National Geographic: Arlington - Field of Honor
Movie Review: Excellent presentation. Captures real life at Arlington National Cemetery
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this video to any one planning a visit to the Washington, D.C. area, and particularly to persuade those visitors to cross the Potomac and visit Arlington National Cemetery, too. The video is also an excellent reference and pre-view for schools that take trips to D.C. and Arlington, so the students can be prepared for what they will see, and most importantly, what the cemetery represents. The professional lives of Tomb of the Unknown Sentinels woven throughout the history presented in the video is a good representation of reality for these members of the Old Guard, the Third Infantry Regiment. My wife and I know, our son was once a Tomb Guard. The video is emotional to the viewer as it captures the true meaning of dedication and service that our women and men in uniform have given to our country not only since the time of the Civil War, but the formation of our country. For those who view this video and visit Arlington, we are reminded that the Unknowns not only made the ultimate sacrifice of service, but even more so that they also gave their up their identifies. Regardless of the changes in weather, or politics, the Tomb Guards are there for them. This video reminds us that we should be there, too.
