The Prince, who combined his Household Cavalry uniform with the blue beret of the Army Air Corps, to which he is seconded as an Apache helicopter pilot, began his visit at Section 60, the part of the cemetery reserved for those who have died since 2001. The grave of US Army Specialist Michael L Stansbery Jr, who died in Afghanistan on July 30 2010, aged 21, was chosen at random for the Prince to lay his wreath of spring flowers, with a handwritten card saying: "To my comrades in arms of the United States of America, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom, Captain Harry Wales." After placing the wreath the Prince stood to attention and saluted the grave, before walking alone between the seemingly endless rows of headstones, pausing several times to read individual inscriptions. Then, 50 years after his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, had stood on the same spot for the funeral of President Kennedy, Prince Harry made his way to the grave where Kennedy lies next to his wife Jacqueline and their two babies who died at birth. After laying his bouquet, which bore no inscription, the Prince stood to attention, bowed and paused for a moment of reflection. Once again crowds of young people, mostly children on school trips, were waiting to catch a glimpse of the Prince, but this was an entirely silent form of Harrymania, in stark contrast to the screams that greeted his every move in Washington DC the previous day. His final duty at Arlington was to place a poppy wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with a card, "In grateful memory of all those who have given their lives in the cause of freedom," before the playing of the last post. After changing into combat fatigues, the Prince made the short journey to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington DC to meet soldiers wounded in Afghanistan and to learn about the centre's work helping those who have lost limbs.
