Fully aware of the topic of the article. Seems to me that I have read on these mailing lists the "slamming" of many cemeteries nationwide. From poor record keeping to no record keeping, from no maintenance and gouging of relatives seeking info. on paid for plots and care. It goes on nationwide.Arlington is not an exception to misuse and corrupt dealing by whomever it is big or small.

My opinion. The end. **************************************************************************** ************** Strongly disagree with your post....Part of genealogy is research into cemeteries all over the world for our relatives. And....Arlington is a cemetery....Claudia
