The last time I answered these questions was in 1961, for high school American History class.
So, in all fairness to other answerers, I will not answer these questions.
And to prove that I do know the answers, the father of the answer to number 5 was a Revolutionary War hero and a friend to the answer of number 4.
Actually, “Arlington House” is also known by another name and it belonged to the wife of the answer to number 4, as it was part of her inheritance thru the wife of the answer to number 5.
And, one of your questions is also associated with the word “tattoo”?
Here’s one for you.
The most decorated US combat soldier of WW II is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Who was he?
Hint: He was also an author and a movie star.
