"Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity. But in simple obedience to duty as they understood it. These men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all, and died. " - Dr. Randolph Harrison McKim (1912) Formerly a plantation estate founded in 1802 by the step-grandson of President George Washington, George Washington Parke Custis, and the home of Civil War General Robert E. Lee for 30 years (1831-1861), since 1864 this cemetery serves as sacred and hallowed ground for the over 400, 000 military personnel interred representing all of the nation's wars from the American Revolution to the present-day.
