the Arlington National Cemetery Commemorative Project, Inc.

Courage, Honor, Sacrifice, Gratitude

A special commemorative gift book has been produced by the Arlington National Cemetery Commemorative Project, Inc., in conjunction with Rich Clarkson and Associates and the National Geographic Society. The book salutes those of our armed forces who now rest in Arlington National Cemetery. It is a beautiful, oversized commemorative book produced for the families of each newly-interred service person who paid the ultimate sacrifice during our country's Global War On Terrorism. Because so few of the families live in the Washington area, this book that shows the solemn beauty of Arlington, becomes a special keepsake. Follow this link to see notes of thanks from the familes. If you have not yet received a book and think that you are entitled, please call to confirm your address and phone number.

Arlington National Cemetery hosted a book debut for commemorative book, "Where Valor Rests - Arlington National Cemetery", in honor family members who lost loved ones serving on active duty since September 11, 2001 and were laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Families representing each of the armed services received the book. Over 200 people attended the event including the Acting Secretary of the Army Pete Geren and Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne. Click here to view images from the book debut ceremony.

Photographed by some of the nation's leading photographers along with the best military photojournalists, it includes text by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson and a DVD of the National Geographic hour-long special about Arlington. Published in May 2007, the project was commissioned by the superintendent and is being funded by individuals, corporate and association contributions. The Arlington National Cemetery Commemorative Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit corporation.
