ARLINGTON ANTHOLOGY. Field of Honor (en Inglés) - Ron Macdonald

Heartwarming and compelling stories of loyalty, brotherhood, sacrifice, and heroism.

Across from the Potomac River from Washington DC lies this nation's most sacred of grounds, Arlington National Cemetery. Here resides some of our nation's finest from as far back as the Revolutionary War are buried here. Some 400,000 men and women call Arlington their final resting place-from presidents, honored statesmen, explorers, and literary figures to the common soldier and sailor, along with 3,800 former slaves. Their stories beg to be heard-stories of courage against insurmountable odds, of love of brother and country, and of sacrifice. Stories of hope and dreams and choices made during adversity.

In this often heart-wrenching, inspirational anthology, we see how these noble souls, be it generals or ex-slaves, influenced the world in which they lived. Their stories are still with us, making us who we are as a country and bidding us to think of life, not of death. Life to which, in their youth, they lent their passion and joy of spring.
