My Dad and mom are both buried there.
Their remains were treated with nothing but utmost respect by everyone involved there, as were our families.
I have probably been back there a dozen times since then...the grounds look fine, my dad got a new headstone because the other one was defective in some way (maybe the black paint in the engraving didn’t persist, or there was a small chip, who knows)
As far as I am concerned, I have nothing but good things to say about them.
I view this as all BS, idiots at MSNBC and Salon as lefties trying to find a story to discredit anything that has anything to do with the military, because that is what they do.
If I went down there, and found someone buried over my mom and dad, I would politely ask to have the situation remedied. If they said to me the person buried over them was an active duty person killed in action, I would be amenable to having my parents reinterred or even placed in the columbarium.
As another poster said...they are dead. These are their remains, and I doubt my parents would argue about it either.
I think it is a smear job. That is my opinion, yours may vary.
I kinda agree. I went to my first funeral at Arlington six weeks ago, and I think the place is run in a fairly competent manner. When mistakes occurred...I think the guys at the top were just not the type to take them on and find root causes...they automatically went into defense mode.
I would hope they can find replacements for the number one and number two...but frankly...where do you find people for this kind of job? Toss in the daily funerals that occur, and there is no brief period of getting into the job...you are moving at 60mph on day one, and it never gets any better.
