# Arlington National Cemetery - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/ - Published: 2016-02-16T14:32:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout ##### When one enters 󠀁[Arlington National Cemetery](http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/#/)󠁿 and sees row after white row of grave markers, it is hard to fathom the thousands of lives buried here. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### I have a strong lineage in the Armed Forces, both in the U.S. and Australia. Sacrifices made by my Grandfather, Uncle’s and my own Father. They older I get the more I respect their service. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### I think about the Stanley Kubrick movie, “Full Metal Jacket”, and the scene where the soldier has a peace sign on his helmet next to the words “Kill”. He explains to his superior about the “Duality of Man”. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### My Grateful Dead t shirt is partially hidden under a wool coat. I represent peace and an alternative view to all of this killing and loss of life. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### Remember the dead, learn from history. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Arlington%20National%20Cemetery&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Farlington-national-cemetery%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/arlington-national-cemetery/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
