Great book to read before July 4th holiday

I bought "Where Valor Rests," a photo book about Arlington National Cemetery, a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have time to page through it until this past weekend. I'm glad I read it right before the July 4th holiday, as it got me thinking about our country, those who choose to engage in combat, and those who die doing so.
As a budding photographer, I found the photos in this book to be incredible. There were a variety of shots, and even some infrared photos. I plan to experiment with infrared photography later this summer.

Many of the pictures brought tears to my eyes, especially shots of family members during graveside services.
