Arlington National Cemetery


While in Virginia we took the opportunity to visit the grave sight of a dear friend of ours, Christian Skoglund, who died in a helicopter crash last November. This visit although sad was a much needed moment for both the girls and I. So much happened so quickly after the accident and we were unable to attend the funerals. Visiting the grave sight gave the girls the opportunity to mentally understand as well as physically expressed what they've been feeling over the past year. The Arlington Cemetery was not only a healing experience, but also left us all with an extreme pride/respect for all those who have and are currently willing to sacrificed their lives for us and all the freedoms we receive in the United States of America.
