Mr. Hunter and I had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., for the first time recently. And we were glad to have the chance to go out to Arlington National Cemetery while we were there. It felt right to visit the Kennedy family gravesite on Veterans Day weekend and as the country prepared to mark the fiftieth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death.
