From the Metro, go straight past the main entrance to the Women in Service Memorial





Turn right, go through the gate and follow the signs to William H. Taft gravesite, section 30






About halfway up, turn right. Obviously, it's still pretty recent, and his permanent headstone isn't in place yet.

Thanks for the directions! Thinking I might head over there myself. It's not that far from where I'm at in PA.

That was really neat to see since most of us will never make it there. Hope someone will post the final tombstone when it is installed.

Thanks!
