Silence and respect. One of the main stops on the trolley tram tour is the green

grave of President John F Kennedy As you approach the plaza there are several of his quotes etched in stone And this one one of his most famous And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do

for you? Ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America

will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Another quote, in the long

history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of

maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. Let's continue on and see the

grave of President John F. Kennedy. He is laid to rest next to his wife, Jacqueline Bouvier-Kennedy

estate called Montpelier in orange, and I hope one day soon to be able to accomplish seeing

all seven graves of the U.S. presence that are buried in the Commonwealth of Virginia. But moving on to

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, both are buried on their estates. We went to Monticello in Charlottesville

to go to tour the mansion and the grounds, and of course to see the grave of our third president

He served between 1801 and 1809. He died at the age of 83 there at Monticello. And in his inaugural

address he made this statement, if there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this union

error of opinion may be tolerated when reason is left free to combat it. Our next

Next and last stop is welcome to Mount Vernon, the beautiful home of General and President George Washington
