USMC War Memorial/Netherlands Carillon Special Event Volunteer

Arlington Ridge Park contains commemorative areas for two major monuments: the United States Marine Corps War Memorial, an iconic national monument dedicated to all U.S. Marines who have sacrificed their lives for the United States since 1775, and the Netherlands Carillon, a symbolic gift of friendship from the citizens of the Netherlands to the United States in thanks for American aid received during and following the Second World War. Special events include the Netherlands Freedom Day event in May, Carillon concerts on Saturday nights in the summer, and Marine Corps "sunset parades" on Tuesday evenings during summer months.
