Arlington at 150: WW1 Tour

Not a reading thing, but I took a WW1-centric tour of Arlington as part of the cemetery's 150th anniversary.  Here are a few pics:

CPL Frank Buckles, last surviving WW1 Vet (looking towards GEN Pershing)

SGT Edward Younger - he selected the unknown soldier for WW1

LTG James Harbord, USA, Commanded the Marines at Belleau Wood


LTC Charles Pierce - in charge of repatriating remains of U.S. forces back to the U.S.
