Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery 
Arlington National Cemetery spreads across the rolling hills west of
the Potomac, a serene and reverent sanctuary for the presidents,
soldiers, and heroes—famous and unsung alike—who lie in eternal rest
among its green lawns and quiet glades, a roster dating back to
America's birth and including many of the foremost names in our
history. A national monument in the truest sense, Arlington's solemn
beauty embraces a brave legacy—a heritage remembered and renewed
every day as the military buries its own.
Bittersweet, breath-taking, sometimes heart-wrenching, always deeply
respectful, this commemorative book guides readers gently over
tree-lined slopes to share the ceremonies observed throughout the
year, from the traditional wreath-laying on Memorial Day, which
enshrines centuries of courage with a formality at once austere and
profoundly emotional, to the moving graveside services that honor
individual men and women who served our country. Captured in
stunning color by a select group of gifted photographers, 220
unforgettable images create a portrait as poignant as it is proud.
Archival photographs also trace the history of the cemetery from the
early National Historic Monument, "Arlington House," to the eternal
flame at the Kennedy grave to sections for the lost astronauts and
victims of the 9/11 Pentagon attack. With an Introduction by
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson, this lovely volume is
both a fitting tribute and a stirring reminder of the values we
Americans hold dear.

Why Send Flowers?
Flowers are a token of your love and a tribute left to the loved one you've lost. It is a way of grieving but also a way of remembering. Whether you send a poinsettia at Christmas time or fresh flowers to remember your loved one's birthday just take a moment of silence and focus on those past memories that bring a smile to your face for that is how I am sure they would like to be remembered.
For many years, "Decoration Day," as it was called at that time, was celebrated as a day for Americans to remember those who lost their lives in service of their country. In 1882, the name Decoration Day was changed to Memorial Day, and in 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday to be held on the last Monday of May every year. National observance is marked officially by the placing of a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.
Over the years, Memorial Day has come to be regarded as a day off from work rather than a day to connect with our nation’s history. In May 1997, an organization committed to providing annual programs of remembrance for those who lost a loved one in the service of our country began a national movement of remembrance to put the "memorial back in Memorial Day." The campaign was organized after a group of schoolchildren in Washington, D.C., was asked what Memorial Day meant, and they responded that it was the day the swimming pools open. Since that time, television and radio stations throughout America pause at 3pm EDT for one minute of respectful silence for those who have died in the service of America.
By sending flowers to a gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery is to let a great nation and it's people understand, that this brave soul although only a few may know their name has not been forgotten by the one's who loved them.
