1. The interment is March 23 at 1pm at Arlington National Cemetery. At this time we will need to be there at 12:15pm. There will be a bus/buses leaving from Embassy Suites by Hilton Crystal City (time yet to be determined) to take everyone to the Cemetery.
2. There will be a crew filming and photographing the whole ceremony. It will be live streamed (location will be shared as we get closer). We are asking that no cameras/phones be used during the ceremony.
The filming and photos will be available to everyone at a later date.
You may take photos at the reception.
3. The same buses will take everyone from the cemetery to the reception at Samuel Beckett’s Irish Pub in Arlington. The reception is from 2 to 4:30pm and will be serving lunch with an open bar. Everyone who attends the interment or are family, friends and Marines are welcome to attend. There will be vehicles/buses to take guests back to the Embassy Suites (every 30 minutes).
We suggest wearing attire that is appropriate for the season, but also respects the dignity of the occasion. Proper footwear that allows mobility on hard and soft surfaces is recommended. Arlington National Cemetery does not provide transportation to funerals. Attendees must provide their own transportation.
