Arlington Ceremony

On Saturday most of the gang went to the Arlington Cemetery to participate in a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Thanks to Kyle for taking the initiative to set this up and and lay out a rudimentary schedule, (thankfully no one wore a profanity t-shirt). Everyone who went really appreciated it. After the ceremony we all went around to look at the Kennedy memorials. Although we had to rise quite early it was well worth it. It was cool to hear them announce the wreath on behalf of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. I think Mike deserves some credit for this, although not the most popular or desired method, Mike used the root method to go to the florist and order the wreath and ribbon with the school's name on it. Anyways it was a great experience and I am really glad we got to be a part of it.
