Saturday, November 14, 2009 - A Visit to Arlington National Cemetery by Harold A. George

In commemoration of Veteran's Day, our speaker, Harold George of Lakewood, Ohio will take us on a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the Home of America's Heroes. Mr. George will discuss the history of Robert E. Lee's home where the cemetery actually originated and the history of the cemetery. He will also talk about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Honor Guard, and burial services at Arlington. Included will be a review of a few historic Americans who are buried at Arlington.

Mr. George has been a Civil War reenactor with the 9th Ohio Light Artillery since 1992. He currently serves as commanding officer of the battery, with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Included in the dozens of Civil War reenactments, parades and ceremonies in which he has participated, he was a part of the reenactments commemorating the 130th and 135th anniversaries of the Battle of Gettysburg. Mr. George has written numerous books on the Civil War and appears in full dress uniform when giving his presentations. He retired from the Department of Defense in 1994, after 29 years of service. When not writing or performing for the public, Mr. George enjoys photography, travel, fishing and reading.
