I found this film to be very beautiful. I agree that it should be a mandatory part of American History classes. As the parent of four I too believe that our youth are not aware of what truly goes on at Arlington. I plan on making sure that my youngest son (14 yr old) will watch this film this evening. It was an honor to be allowed to watch this very informative movie.
