Full Honors at Arlington

Full Honors at Arlington

Mourners conduct a full-honors funeral at Arlington Cemetery. Robert E. Lee's son sued the government for the return of his family land, which had been turned into the cemetery, and won it back in a Supreme Court case. A year later, he sold it back to the U.S. for $150,000.
