The stones of Arlington National Cemetery tell America?s story in endless rows of nearly identical marble headstones, climbing the gentle Virginia hills and standing in mute testimony to fallen heroes and heroines. Even at a distance, from the air or from the George Washington Parkway, the meaning of the headstones is clear: men and women died to create this country; other men and women tamped cannon, shouldered guns, or piloted jet fighters to secure liberty. Through all the wars, through generation after generation, we have known these warriors. Here, we meet them in row after row. The brother who took up arms against brother, the slaves who fought masters---all are now resting here. A mother and a daughter, both nurses in the Spanish-American War, shared a life of nurture; now they share a tombstone.

SynopsisArlington National Cemetery: A Nation's Story Carved in Stone presents both a photographic memento of this national treasure and an introduction to all the place has to offer. From group monuments to individual headstones to sweeping landscapes, the intimacy and the vastness of Arlington are exquisitely expressed in 140 color photographs. It is a fitting tribute to the place where we can reflect on our past and treasure our present and gain a deeper understanding of the journey we are all taking together. Introduction by Linda Witt, Senior Fellow, Women In Military Service For America Memorial Foundation, Inc. Foreword by Senator John McCain, Photographs by Lorraine Jacyno Dieterle, USCG. Includes index showing locations of tombs., Arlington National Cemetery: A Nation's Story Carved in Stone is a memorial to America's heroes and heroines, those who sacrificed their lives for our country or contributed to its enduring history. The 140 color photographs are a visual memento of all that Arlington has to offer, from the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns to the commemorative ceremonies. Individual headstones spell out the chapters of our nation's development, remembering the veterans of all our battles, as well as those who went on in civilian life to serve their country in other important ways.
