"... with opportunities to visit both Gettysburg and NicknamedBob. (And to pay my respects to a friend from over 50 years ago, now interred with his wife in Arlington National Cemetery.)"

The last time I was at Arlington, to visit my brother's grave, I stopped at the nearby WWII Memorial, and at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall, where my cousin's name is engraved, as is my own.

I took pictures.

I am sorry to hear this. My friend (my parents' age) survived Viet Nam, as he also did Korea and WWII (during which he met his future wife, then a military nurse). It was a photo I took that resulted in his family correcting an error on the gravestone.
