Itinerary and highlights

This educational and entertaining tour begins with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery for the ceremonial Changing of the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknowns

We will stop to watch the changing of the guard. This memorial is guarded around the clock by the Army's 3rd infantry, this memorial in Arlington National Cemetery honors unidentified American soldiers from the two World Wars and the Korean War.

When it was dedicated in 1997, the Women's Memorial became the first major American memorial to honor women who have served in the United States military. The memorial also marks the ceremonial entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.

Afterwards, visit the Marine Corps War Memorial and the US Air Force Memorial for a great view of the United States headquarters of the Department of Defense and the Pentagon.

The AF Memorial was dedicated on October 14, 2006, to honor the men and women of the AF and its heritage organizations. It is located at Arlington, Virginia, adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon. Since its opening, it has been a place of honor and remembrance. It offers a place for the community to learn and appreciate the rich history of the AF through displays, AF Band performances, Memorial/Veterans Day commemorations and veteran-related events.
