Arlington: Bedroom
of Nation’s Capitol
One of the loveliest views from the Nation’s Capitol is that of Arlington, Virginia, spreading out its greenery across the Potomac River. Whether you are standing across the Potomac at the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial or on a hill in historic Georgetown, it is a sight of serenity and beauty. No more than 10 minutes away from the White House and the Capitol, Arlington is closer to Washington land marks than most of the residential area within the city. Arlington also serves as the half-way point between Washington and many of the sights in Northern Virginia such as Mount Vernon, Wood lawn, Gunston Hall, Dulles International Airport and the Central Intelligence Agency. Within the confines of Arlington are many of the sights that people expect to see when they visit Washington. These include the Iwo Jima Memorial of World War II which depicts the famous raising of the flag by U. S. Marines; Fort Meyer which had its beginnings in 1863; various Civil War battlefields; The Tombs of the Unknowns in Arlington Mational Cemetery; the Pentagon where 27,000 persons are smployed by the Department of Defense in a building twice the size of Chicago’s Merchan dise Mart; the Custis-Lee Mansion and the grave of the late President John F. Kennedy.
Arlington in many ways is an organic part of our Na:ion’s Capitol. In fact, it is called the “bedroom of Washington* since tens of thousands of people who work in the District of Columbia live in Arlington. Arlington provides a pleasant base for a tour of Northern Virginia and Washington, D. C.
