Say something along the lines of:
"It leaves me filled with questions of the past. Who were these people? What did they truly have to go through? How about their family? I am glad that they are all buried here to be remembered as valiant soldiers, but there is much more to explore. Out of all of these soldiers, which was was a true hero? A cemetery is a grim place, that is true, but this specific one leaves me hanging, like there is something missing that I just cannot reach. All I know is that all the pain and suffering these poor people had gone through was all to protect everyone in the country, including me."
Is that good? :)

It is a grave yard .. it is a nice place? Hey, you sure got a lot out of your visit, didn't you? That statement is similar to viewing Ground Zero of 9/11 and saying it is big hole and kind of dirty.
Express your feelings to the committment these soldiers made to their country and that a lot of them died while defending others in battle. You could even express your own feelings about the Iraq War as compared to other wars such as the Vietnam War or the World Wars.
Do some thinking on your own and stop relying on others to do your thinking. It sounds as though your education system has passed you by.

you've received some good responses. i will in basic terms upload that the down-aspect of the status of being buried at Arlington nationwide Cemetery is that it attracts 1000's of travelers each and each day. maximum are respectful, yet no longer all. For households that choose extra quiet and serenity for his or her loved ones, there are a style of alternative federal and Veterans cemeteries throughout america that are very low-key and quiet--you mostly choose guidelines to locate them. maximum former servicemen and females individuals are buried at those centers, no longer at Arlington.

Talk about the history of the place and the Medal of Honor winners that are buried there. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Google the place and you will get tons of ideas

It is the final resting place where American millitary personnel can be recognized by the government that they fought for.
Not only important people, but anyone who served in the military is entitled to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
It is a wonderful monument to those who
fought for my freedom.
