Wreath laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery?


I am going to write an essay to be in the "wreath laying ceremony" topic: Why I want to lay the wreath at tomb of the unknown soldier
im in 8th grade... getting ready to go on the DC trip. Does anyone have any suggestons that i should write into my essay?

Visiting Arlington Memorial Cemetery is a powerful and moving experience. Your essay should include an understanding of the history behind the tomb, an appreciation for the branches of the military, and the wars that our armed forces have participated in. There are also many famous people buried at Arlington, such as President Kennedy, and people visit his tomb to pay their respects. It always helps to explain why you in particular are interested and what this will mean to you -- do you have any family members in the military?

Good luck!

I'd write something about the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice which enables you to enjoy your freedom and American way of life.
