A pc name i guess.......politically correct.........they name it "Arlington House"......instead of Rob. E. Lee's house.................look at where it is.....................dominating the cemetery...........and even odder.............I'm not sure if it is a coincidence........is that right across the river......from Memorial drive.......the drive from the streets into the Nat. Cemetery.......on the other side of the river.....is the Lincoln Memorial...............but far above all that.......on a pretty tall hill................sits the Rob E Lee house.........with an enormously tall flag pole.......like it is dominating the entire area.......what my dad..........would have wanted.......................he is from Virginia Beach, Virginia......went to VMI........Virginia Military Institute..........in Lexington, Virginia.................which is the birthplace of Stonewall Jackson..........and is home to Washington Lee college..........where Rob E Lee was the president of after the US Civil War ended............................
