A US Army Full Honors service departs the Old Post Chapel at Fort Myer and enters Arlington National Cemetery on the way to the gravesite. The Old Post Chapel on Fort Myer is adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery and is the site of many military funerals. The chapel is striking in its simplicity and its unique stained glassed windows which add to its beauty. The windows were donated by the chaplain corps of the different branches of the services — with depictions from each branch. While services take place in the chapel, the gravesite can be up to 2 miles away in the cemetery itself. After the church service, the casket is placed on a caisson pulled by six horses. Behind the caisson, family and friends may choose to walk or drive their car to the burial site. This scene is shown here, as captured by our @arlingtonmedia team
