This National Cemetary was established in 1846. There are currently over 50,000 buried here. There are even some vets from the current Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
A memorial to the USS Ommaney Bay which was lost off the coast of the Phillippines.
A memorial to the USS Wasp, which was lost during the battle of Guadalcanal.
A shot of the some of the gravestones. One of the things I like about military cemetarys is the precision.
The obelisk is a memorial to the sailors of the USS Bennington which was sank in a boiler explosion.
A shot to give you an idea of just how many people are buried here.
