| Tomb of the Unknown Soldier |
I mentioned in an earlier posting that there was a very moving ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Monday of this week. I was at the tomb earlier in the day before the ceremony began and took a few photos, then I did some more sightseeing before returning to the area of the tomb when I was drawn back to it. Photos of that ceremony will be at the end of this posting.
