Arlington Memorial Amphitheater and Memorial Day traditions
Across the Potomac Arlington National Cemetery shines with the new Memorial amphitheater, a snow white monument to heroic dead. It houses tens of thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers and other service members and hosts annual Memorial Day ceremonies attended by nearly every US president since the Civil War. The site features royal parklike care, wistaria trellis near the Lee mansion, and flowered surrounds enhancing the remembrance rites, though crowd growth outgrew the old temple and Congress was urged years ago to authorize a fitting replacement.
