More Photos from Arlington National Cemetery

Tombstones I found interesting including my childhood hero Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, actor Lee Marvin, and one of the many headstones marked as Unknown.  Boyington was a USMC WWII Ace in the Pacific and a Medal of Honor receipient.  He is probably best known from the 1970s tv show Baa Baa Black Sheep which was based on his memoirs.  I was surprised by the humble gravestone of Lee Marvin who is extremely well known and enjoyed a large fan base in the 60s and 70s from his movies.  Marvin is probably best known for his roles in The Dirty Dozen and Cat Ballou which he won an Oscar for.
