Place Matter Essay: Preserving the past memories of those who showed most bravery

I do not travel often. I am usually prone to staying at home to enjoy the world aroundme, looking up things through my computer if I wish to find something. Thus to contemplate on a place that I believe should be preserved is not easy to figure out. But there is one place that is fairly close to my heart; The Arlington National cemetery in Washington D.C. The Arlington National cemetery is a major part of our culture, as it contains the bodies and memories of those who gave their lives to ensure the existence of our culture to this day. Many of the brave men and women who died so that we could enjoy the freedom to express our cultural beliefs and practices can be found in this place. To honor the memories of the many loved ones that have gone before us is something that should be preserved with all our might. As for me, why I care so mightily about the place is because my beloved grandmother is buried there along with my grandfather, and I want to ensure a place for her remains to rest in peace and so I can revisit her in the future as a reminder of the things our predeccessors have done in service for their country.
