Members of Hotel Company of the US Army Old Guard await the dignified arrival of veteran remains on the Tarmac this past Friday. While everyone is looking out at the aircraft turning into the bay, the soldiers standing in salute, police cars flashing their red, white, and blue display, and sometimes even crossed streams of water from fire trucks at the ready, one of the most compelling parts of these experiences, is turning the opposite direction, looking back, and seeing the many faces pressed against the glass in reverence. Capturing moments like this on site is not new for our @arlingtonmedia team, but we are always honored to have the opportunity to do so for a military family. Thank you. @southwestair @reagan_airport @usarmyoldguard

The sun rises at Arlington National Cemetery over the graves of an honored United States Air Force Veteran and his spouse buried in Section 64 of Arlington National Cemetery. Section 64 is also home to the Pentagon Group Burial Marker. It is located in the southeastern part of the cemetery, closest to the Pentagon. This burial marker was placed following a funeral service to honor all 184 victims, while offering special recognition of the five families who did not receive any recovered remains of their loved ones. A five-sided granite group marker stands over the gravesite, bearing the names of all those who perished in the Pentagon or aboard American Airlines Flight 77.

American flags presented in Arlington National Cemetery are completely made in the United States. The fabric, thread, and all component parts have to be manufactured and produced in the United States, along with many other items purchased by the Department of Defense. Early American flags were made from wool, cotton, linen or silk, depending on the availability of materials and the intended use. The most common method for assembling the American flag throughout history has been sewing pieces of dyed and undyed fabric together and then sewing or embroidering the stars onto the blue material. Designs can also be printed onto flags. This detailed image was captured by @arlingtonmedia.

A U.S. Veterans Motorcycle group honors a hero at Arlington National Cemetery that was buried with full honors early last month. These cyclists drove to the cemetery and stood at attention during the service and rendering of honors for their friend, a US Air Force Colonel, who dedicated his life to one of service for this country. We were so glad to be able to capture this moment for their family, friends, and daughter who serves in the Air Force as well. Arlington Media is humbled to provide services that capture these moments for generations to come.

Full honors funerals that begin at the Old Post Chapel involve a majestic display of military honors and precision outside the walls of the chapel in preparation for the presentation and moving of the remains inside the chapel walls. At the beginning of the service, the family is seated inside, at which time, the honor guard marches into position and the US Army Band (or appropriate band based on branch of service) plays a song while the remains are transferred into the Chapel. The nuances of the Honor Guard’s mission set outside the chapel is humbling. The escort element lowers their sabers within inches of the ground, the band performs a perfection rendition of an American classic, and the flag is folded on the corners as the casket enters the building are a mere fraction of the amount of reverence these soldiers hold for the veterans they bury every day. As the service begins, the family’s attention shifts, but the @arlingtonmedia team prides itself on capturing as many moments as possible, through as many lenses, with as much discretion as we can muster to keep the focus on the family and your loved one, instead of on our team. Moments just like this, are but a few that we capture in our full galleries delivered to families to remember the service of their esteemed loved one. Here, the leader of the US Army Band holds their baton in the air as the members raise their instruments and drumsticks before beginning to conduct the band in honoring a fallen veteran at a service three weeks ago. We are honored to do the work that we do, and it would be our pleasure to speak with you further about immortalizing your loved one’s service through photographic and video media to outlast a lifetime.
