Comments: This tree is located at Arlington National Cemetery near the John Foster Dulles gravesite. It was beneath this tree that the Russian Secretary of State secretly and respectfully viewed the Dulles funeral ceremony during the height of the cold war. Behind this tree are the graves of Audie Murphy, the most decorated WW II vetern who died in a tragic airplane crash on Brush Mountain near Blacksburg, and Chief Justice Earl Warren. (Note: we are awaiting a picture and measurements of the tree.)
Nominator: Stephen Van Hoven
