    Thank you so much for sharing that video with us it is truly amazing. You can actually feel and see his presence there in each memorial piece of him. I am really looking forward to visit Norfolk Virginia, just for the fact that a true American hero rests there.

    The building was constructed in 1847 and served as Norfolk City Hall until 1918 and Court House until 1961. If you should visit Norfolk , stop buy St. Paul's Church , just a short distance away , and have a look at the British cannonball embedded in one of it's walls , fired by one of Lord Dunmore's ships . On Jan. 1 , 1776 the British burned about 2/3rds of Norfolk. The patriots burned the rest , for strategic reasons about a month later . The church , with it's cannonball , was about all that was left. The General rests in Norfolk because it was the home of his mother.
