Today we pause to remember the sacrifices made by all of the nation’s military veterans.
Veterans Day in Arlington included President Obama’s final presidential wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and a local Veterans Day ceremony in Clarendon.

Looking forward to the weekend, there’s plenty of activities happening around Arlington for those who want to be out and about. One particularly notable item in our event calendar: the grand opening of Twins Ace Hardware at 2001 Clarendon Blvd in Courthouse.
Feel free to share your thoughts on today’s Veterans Day holiday or discuss any other topic of local interest in the comments.
