How can you omit Arlington National Cemetary in Washington, DC? It might not be glitzy or uber-cool, but seeing the fields and fields of men (and women) who paid the ultimate sacrifice for this country and watching the bittersweet solemnity of the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the most moving experiences and emotionally-wrenching history lessons one can have.
