arlington national cemetery, yesterday.
site of school visits, funerals, and romantic strolls in the sunshine.
fitting accompaniment to my current read:
this republic of suffering: death and the american civil war
by drew gilpin faust
noteable fact:
proportionate to our current population, the number of lives lost in the civil war would be like losing 6 million people today. all right in our backyards.
