A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s group for breaking decorum after the Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery today (Wednesday).
During the same ceremony, President Donald Trump spoke about his planned arch in Memorial Circle as a tribute to veterans. A federal judge has temporarily blocked work on the project.
Human remains were found this morning in the woods along Spout Run Parkway, and the parkway’s inbound lanes were closed for part of the day while police investigated.
Arlington County police alerted U.S. Park Police to the discovery around 9 a.m. today (Wednesday), according to a Park Police statement. The remains were in the wooded area between the parkway and I-66.

When I moved back to Northern Virginia, I ran into something a lot of grown men recognize: making guy friends takes more effort than it used to. My old social circle had scattered, and I wanted a few people nearby to grab a drink with, get outside, and hang out with regularly.
I had an idea that small groups and consistent plans could make that easier, so I started bringing a few guys together right here in Arlington. Those first members helped turn a small experiment into Choros, a local community and app built specifically around helping guys form a solid crew.
Nine members of the Kennedy family asked a federal judge today (Tuesday) to block President Donald Trump’s planned 250-foot arch in Memorial Circle, saying it would cast a shadow over their relatives’ graves at Arlington National Cemetery.
The shadow would “fundamentally alter the experience of visiting the gravesites,” the relatives argued. They filed a motion to intervene in two existing lawsuits seeking to block construction of the arch.

Walt Gallagher was asleep on a canvas cot three decks below the USS Franklin’s flight deck when a Japanese attack set the aircraft carrier ablaze in March 1945.
Gallagher, a Navy aviation ordnanceman who was 18 at the time, survived one of the deadliest days for any American warship in World War II. The Dover Crystal resident turned 100 on Oct. 29.
Listeners who tune into 96.7 FM almost anywhere in Arlington can now hear broadcasts from the county’s home-grown radio station.
WERA has returned to broadcasting at its full authorized power out of its home base at 2300 Clarendon Blvd — a significant turnaround for the station that went dark for a year and was, until recently, operating as a self-described “bare minimum of a broadcast.”
Bystanders held a man until police arrived after he allegedly tried to stab one person and cut two others in Crystal City last night (Monday).
Arlington County police were called to the 2100 block of S. Clark Street around 9:40 p.m. for a reported stabbing. A man had been taking things out of his car when the suspect walked up and tried to stab him, according to police. The victim ran away and wasn’t hurt.
Banditos Tacos & Tequila appears to have shuttered in Pentagon City, the latest closure for the D.C.-area chain.
The Mexican restaurant is listed as “temporarily closed” on Google, but the location at 1301 S. Joyce Street was removed from the business’s website sometime in the last 24 hours.
Members of the Columbia Pike Artist Studios will open their doors to the public this weekend, with a goal of demystifying art for the broader community.
“A lot of people are intimidated” by the artistic process, Laura Bollettino, one of the 22 artists in the cooperative, told ARLnow.
