Arlington Media was honored to capture the FIRST service in Arlington National Cemetery’s Section 78. Section 78 is part of Arlington’s new Millennium Section that was opened in 2018. As the cemetery expands, new sections are unveiled and being on the forefront of capturing these moments for families to leave a legacy is something that is a priority for our team. The Millennium project was conceived in the 1990s to help extend the life of the cemetery as an active burial ground. It consists of 27 acres, parts of which were transferred from the National Park Service from existing cemetery land and from Fort Myer. The construction contract was awarded Sept. 24, 2013, and during the last five years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and many contractors worked diligently to complete this critical project. Millennium provides 27,282 new interment spaces that are located either above or below ground. Columbarium courts will offer 16,400 above-ground niche spaces for cremated remains, while the 10,882 in-ground burials will be split between traditional and over-sized burials (1,422), in-ground cremated remains (3,189), and pre-placed concrete grave-liners (6,271). If your loved one is being buried in Arlington National Cemetery, do not hesitate to contact us regarding photo or video coverage, as well as other local recommendations to help make this difficult time a little bit easier. We are truly humbled to help. Contact us at 1 (800) 852-7015 with questions.

Raindrops on a bugle in Arlington National Cemetery as captured during a rainstorm by our @arlingtonmedia team. The bugle is one of the simplest brass instruments, having no valves or other pitch-altering devices. All pitch control is done by varying the player’s embouchure. Consequently, the bugle is limited to notes within the harmonic series. The bugle is used mainly in the military and Boy Scouts, where the bugle call is used to indicate the daily routines of camp. Historically the bugle was used in the cavalry to relay instructions from officers to soldiers during battle. They were used to assemble the leaders and to give marching orders to the camps. The Rifles, an infantry regiment in the British Army, has retained the bugle for ceremonial and symbolic purposes. The bugle has also been used as a sign of peace in the case of a surrender.

Nearly 5,000 unknown soldiers are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Burial in Arlington is generally limited to active, retired and former members of the armed forces, Medal of Honor recipients, high-ranking federal government officials and their dependents. Funerals are normally conducted six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Arlington averages 27 to 30 funerals, including interments and inurnments, each weekday, and six to eight services on Saturdays. The flags in Arlington National Cemetery are flown at half-staff from a half hour before the first funeral until a half hour after the last funeral each day. Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place of over 420,000 service members and their family members. All of the service members that lay to rest at Arlington sacrificed a great deal for this country and its values, but some made the ultimate sacrifice. Throughout the cemetery, you will find large government issued headstones called group burial markers. They are for services members who made the ultimate sacrifice together in the same tragedy or attack such as a helicopter crash or an explosion. The remains of the service members are co-mingled. Most of the group burial markers at ANC are government issued headstones. They list the names of each service member who died. Group burials are not to be confused with unknown graves. The individuals are known, but due to the way they perished their remains, they are not able to be separated so the Department of Defense orders that their remains be interred together. There are 100s of group burial markers at the cemetery.
