Located across the Arlington Memorial Bridge from the National Mall, the Arlington National Cemetery is the resting place for 250,000 Americans that died either at war or in service of the United States. Some 4 million visitors come to the the 612 acre National Cemetery to pay respects to the distinguished Americans buried here, among whom are former president John F Kennedy and his family, General John Pershing and the crew of the Challenger Space Shuttle. Arlington House stands at the top of the hill in the Arlington National Cemetery and provides a stunning view of Washington DC. The Tomb of the Unknowns serves as a memorial to the many unknown American Soldiers who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Medals awarded to the unknown servicemen at the time of internment are on display in the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater, directly behind the Tomb of the Unknowns.
