Touching moment boy in Marine uniform lies next to his father’s grave

This year Christian Jacobs wore a replica Marine Corps Dress Blue uniform with his father’s medals pinned to his chest as he and his mother made their way to the tombstone at section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery.

Thousands of people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to commemorate the lives of fallen military men and women.

As part of Memorial Day services, flowers and flags were places on rows and rows of graves as loving friends and families remember those who have died.

President Barack Obama joined the families at the cemetery to take place in the annual wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
