Arlington plans for cemetery improvements approved nationally
Plans for Arlington National Cemetery to develop the site, approved by the Quartermaster General and War Memorials Council, call for preserving the sacred character, expanding tree cover, and improving the mansion, roads, and burial treatments. The proposal emphasizes quiet reverence, featured by shaded tree groves and uniform headstones, with immediate planting of thousands of trees and careful consideration of historic context and landscape alignment from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial.
