Things to do: Alexandria sits across the Potomac from Washington, DC, with its many sights and attractions—all readily accessible. On its own, Alexandria has plenty to offer:

 

King Street: In the heart of “Old Town,” this scenic, 18th-century corridor connects the George Washington Masonic Memorial at the top and the Potomac River Waterfront at the bottom. Loaded with boutiques, eateries and pubs accessible via the free King Street Trolley.

 

National Museum of the United States Army: This impressive, relatively new museum on the grounds of Ft Belvoir provides a modern, immersive journey through the history of the Army. The atmosphere is deeply moving, and the interactive blending of immersive combat exhibits with powerful soldiers’ stories is powerful. A must see!

 

George Washington’s Mt. Vernon: On the banks of the Potomac, this 500-acre estate is a living monument to our first President and Commander-in-Chief. The recently restored 21-room mansion showcases Washington's private life.

 

Arlington National Cemetery: A moving and historic site, the resting place for over 400,000. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Military Women’s Memorial are but two important stops.

 

DC Attractions: Are too many to list. While the reunion will focus on the Alexandria area DC is accessible via the Metro for those who want to explore. More info and the usual sign-ups will be in the July newsletter. Early hotel reservations are encouraged.
