Arlington Cemetery book event honors local author
Local resident Jim Peters, an Illinois native and lawyer, has authored a definitive work on Arlington Cemetery. The book frames the site as America’s story through its graves and monuments, from the Tomb of the Unknowns to Memorial Day rituals. Peters moved to Washington in 1985 to better guide his large family on Capitol tours.
