5 out of 5 stars Excellence portrayed with grace and dignity.......2007-06-27

This video is not to be missed. I visited Arlington in 2005 and wanted to know more. This video is the "more" I never imagined. Get this video and watch it yourself and share it with young and old. It resurrects the pride, honor and humility upon which this country was founded.

5 out of 5 stars Arlington-Field of Honor.......2007-05-13

Beautifully done. The training, dedication and professionalism of the Honor Guard is a lasting tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for their country. A must see DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2007-01-12

This is an outstanding documentary on our main national cemetary. I have shown it in my high school government and U.S. history classes and it always brings positve comments from my students.

This is a gift for my parents, and they are excited about watching it. It looks to be a great DVD. Thanks.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Presentation for Arlington Natl Cemetary.......2006-06-15

Before I wrote this review, I wanted to see what the other six reviews had to say. I can see why one was not satisfied by the presentation, but I was as was the other five.

As a member of the Honor Guard in the Pacific, not as strict as the Old Guard in Washington, D.C., it brought back memories and I feel that others that were not as fortunate to be a part of such a unit should be given an "insider's view."

As a veteran of ten years in the army, I also have embedded in me an inherent "attention to details" and enjoyed the interviews with cemetary staff.

This Memorial Day, I ordered several books on Arlington as well as this DVD and one from 45 North Productions, "Arlington: In Eternal Vigil," and prefer the National Geographic work more
and as for content, far superior. That is not to say I do not want to own both.
