I don't believe there are any crosses at Arlington. The standard white rounded-top tombstone is used there. However, most US war cemetaries overseas have crosses, and these cemetaries are maintained at least in part by US taxpayer monies.

I used to work in a National Cemetery with such stones. {rounded ones} Look on the face of them. Their will be a cross, or Star Of David, or nothing if NRP.

Thank you for clarifying that. I have not been to Arlington yet, but very much want to visit someday.

The markers in the US cemetaries of Europe are simple crosses or stars of David. I have never stood on more palpably holy ground than when I stood among the white crosses and stars of David at Margraten, in the Netherlands.
