Yes. And a visit to Arlington and the changing of the guard at the tomb should be mandatory viewing for all Americans.

When you see all the graves in design, it's hard to believe. The tomb of the unknown is haunting and has to be seen to be really experienced.

I went to see it in high school. We watched the changing of the guard ceremony as well. I wish I would have been older, so I would have appreciated it more.
