Book Reviews of Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery
Book Review: Where Valor Rests
Summary: 5 Stars
A very heart moving book!!! It does make you choke up, I am a veteran.Book Review: Absolutely wonderfully written and illustrated book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about "Where Valor Rests" on National televison. They were discussing the beauty and elegance of a unique book about Arlington National Cemetery which was being given only to the family of those who were being buried (or had been buried) at Arlington National Cemetery. At the conclusion of the episode they noted that a similar book was available (Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery) for purchase. I ordered the book from Amazon.Com for my husband for Father's Day, who is a member of the local Honor guard for deceased Veterans.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the sights and duties of those who care for and those who participate in the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery.
Book Review: Beautiful - Wonderful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many wonderful pictures in this book. The percision placement of the headstones make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. They stand like soldiers in formation forever.
The members of The Old Guard are truly heros in their own right. They take care of those who have gone before them with the utmost respect.
God Bless America.
Book Review: Sensitive treatment and super photography on a difficult subject
Summary: 5 Stars
Where Valor Rests is a superb tribute to our men and women in uniform who have dedicated themeselves to serving their country -- often putting their own lives on the line. While the book has outstanding chapters dedicated to nationally known photographers, some of the best come from military and Department of the Army Civilians who are very close to the subject and understand what our Nation's heroes go through. It is a very moving book. Some of the proceeds from this book go to a foundation that ensures a special commemorative version of the same book will be available to the loved ones of fallen from the Global War on Terrorism that are interred at Arlington National Cemetary. You won't be disappointed with this book.

Book Review: Outstanding Photography
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a proper and fitting tribute to the fallen and those that care for their final resting place. The photography throughout the book is stunning. The images capture the events that shape our country. The viewer is captivated by the power of the emotion that has been caught on film.
As a veteran I am proud to know that there are people who care enough to tell this story in such a fitting manner. This book will be a cherished part of my collection.
