One of the few things a guy from New Jersey can be proud of, it was the home of John Basilone.

John Basilone is buried in Arlington, and his grave is one of the most oft-visited. This pic from a few years ago is typical for Memorial Day... Flag in, numerous flowers, coins, pebbles & memorabilia which have been placed in his memory.
