Troops photograph every Arlington grave

Troops photograph every Arlington grave

http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/...ton-grave.html

"Night after night this summer, troops from the Army’s historic Old Guard have left their immaculately pressed dress blues, white gloves and shiny black boots at home to slip into Arlington National Cemetery in T-shirts and flip-flops to photograph each and every grave with an iPhone..........................."

Good work Troops, a tip of the Beret to ya'.

Good deal.
I hear they are running out of room but I hope not. Want to be buried there.
That'd be like being back in the Army again. The history appeals a great deal too.

That would've been a great Eagle project for a couple of Boy Scouts.

I guess eventually they will run out of room but before that happens, the Navy Annex on the hill where the Air Force memorial is will get torn down and that hill added to the cemetary.

They can also push out the wall into Ft Meyer.
