"There was an 8 hour holocaust tour I could take, or I could go see the Arlinon cemetary my ast day in DC. I had already seen a self-guided tour of the holocuast, so I opted for this instead. Many tombs said many things. All had some meaniging if you looked at the writing on them. It was near here that I got to see Jacquline Kenndoy Onnassis’s grave, and John F Kennedy. The other Kennedy’s were alive at the time. This was a time that Clinton was still our presiden president. Both graves had the eternal flame that one always hears about… This is a flame that never burns out. It’s to honor dead presidents and a families in a special way. I don’t think that moment could have been more special. When you pass by their graves, you get the feeling they were truly loved. When you go visit the dead, sometimes afterwards, you feel much how alive you are, and it’s a pretty peaceful feeling. "
