Since patriotism is not as harshly judged in The Box as it is in other places on FT, and we can all appreciate the ability to hit the shutter button at the precisely perfect moment, I present the following from my visit to The Tomb of the Unknowns on an appropriately dark and somber day. This was the 4pm Changing of the Guard this past Friday.

The voucher is a very ^ bonus for CO giving me what I wanted in the first place :D

So did you get FC on the morning flight?? Congratulations on having CO pay you to go to SFO!!

I wouldn't have taken the deal if it wasn't for F or an exit row seat. As soon as the agent called, I opened up seatcounter.com and saw an F seat on the morning flight. She booked me in it before I noticed that it's a 752...BONUS! :-:

Nice photos, Copa. It has been a few years since I've gone to Arlington. Need to stop there next time I'm through D.C.
