Live Part 3: Women on the Front Part three of the series leads the group to the south side of the cemetery - a place where not many people visit. These sections are some of the newest, and serves as the final resting place for many fallen service members from the more recent wars the United States has fought. Women on the Front focuses solely on military women who appear on the front of the iconic cemetery headstones, who through their service and sacrifice, have met the requirements to be buried at the nation's most premier cemetery.
