 My name is Elizabeth Frazier and as the official photographer here at Arlington National Cemetery I'm going to take you through one of our newest exhibits in the ANC Welcome Center inside these hollowed grounds. This interpretive photographic exhibit, located along the inner walls of the Welcome Center, showcases a behind-the-scenes view of the multifaceted work required to fulfill ANC's sacred mission. Arlington National Cemetery represents the American people from past, present and future generations by laying to rest those few who have served our nation with dignity and honor while immersing guests in the cemetery's living history. Through collaboration with the ANC Public Affairs and History Offices, we were able to bring you a candid look at what it's like to work at Arlington National Cemetery. All imagery in this exhibit was taken in real time while our great workforce of government civilians, soldiers and contractors worked diligently, every day, under every kind of weather condition to support our mission with the utmost respect. The idea for inside these hollowed grounds began simply. While conducting normal duties of photographing funerals, events or ceremonies, I would often turn my camera to my fellow employees and capture a moment of them working to support our mission. Sometimes it was a small moment, like measuring and earn as part of our funeral standards. Other times it was more elaborate work, like restoration of our monuments or intricate engineering repairs. And still others were just happenstance, solemn moments of work conducted every day across the cemetery. Through discussions with subject matter experts and department directors and with direct leadership input, we took this large collection of photography and curated a selection we felt best showcased our workforce and mission. To facilitate this mission we created interpretive panels to go with each image, providing a description of what is happening in each photo and information on the duties being carried out. The final selection resulted in the 36 photographs you see here today arranged around Arlington National Cemetery's core themes, honor, remember, explore. The exhibit starts with honor, which revolves around laying to rest our nation's service members and veterans, along with their eligible dependents. Here you will see cemetery representatives meeting with family members. From their arrival to ANSI to after military funeral honors, cemetery representatives provide individual care for each family that is laying a loved one to rest. You'll see our chaplains who preside over services and offer comfort to families in their time of need. And finally, you'll see our internment operations team who work diligently every day to open and close graves no matter what the weather condition. Next, we move on to remember, which showcases our perpetual care for those laid to rest at ANC, as well as how we keep their memories alive every day of the year. Quality assurance conducts inspections of every headstone and niche cover upon arrival to ANC. Facility maintenance prepares the cemetery every Memorial Day and Veterans Day by hanging flags in the Memorial Amphitheater. And internment operations members realign headstones even during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the back wall, we see many of the behind-the-scenes duties our workforce accomplishes to keep Arlington National Cemetery in pristine condition. With precise attention to detail, we preserve historic structures like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, dry off chairs before some 5,000 people arrive for the National Memorial Day observance, and enact repairs to our infrastructure like the roof of this very welcome center. Though rarely seen by the public, these duties are essential to the overall effectiveness of our mission. Then, we explore, which consists of visitor experience, public outreach, and operational support. Arlington National Cemetery is a level three accredited arboretum cared for meticulously by our horticulture staff. During normal operations, we offer tours of our Memorial Arboretum, which includes stake champion trees, rain gardens, and expertly managed turf at every gravesite. We also offer history tours, educational materials, and exhibits, which are curated by our history office to educate visitors of all ages and backgrounds on the cemetery's rich and diverse history. In addition, we conduct public outreach through our Public Affairs Office, escorting media and various stakeholders to events and funerals to share our story with the American people and abroad. Finally, we see some of the internal work we do to keep A&C running. Whether it's resource management working to maintain our annual budget, groups of employees coming together to work through challenges such as weather emergencies, or our expert security force working every day to keep A&C safe, we maintain the Army's priority of people first. Many of our team members work behind the scenes to ensure that employees have the proper resources, skills, and training to care for veterans, families, and visitors. A&C's work is precise, from budgets to gravesites, and we ensure that all of our people are trained to achieve that precision. We are a humble workforce. We accomplish our mission with no fanfare under any and all conditions with dignity and honor. It has been a privilege to have captured these moments of our fellow employees and to be able to bring them to you today. We hope that you enjoy honoring, remembering, and exploring with us.
