Just pure disregard
Thu, July 29, 2010WASHINGTON
Rest in peace... However, not in Arlington National Cemetery, where as many as 6 600 graves were "unmarked, improperly marked or mislabeled" on cemetery maps.
One of the nations most hallowed, most prestigious burial place for its war heroes is facing the scandal. It is estimated that as many as 6 600 graves at Arlington National Cemetery may be "unmarked, improperly marked or mislabeled" on cemetery maps, while cemetery officials are speaking about estimate of 211 graves, which were mislabeled. Well, for the place, where John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States, is buried, where people all across the country, but also foreign tourists come to pay the respect of all the war generals, admirals, and all the soldiers, this is a significant mistake. Of course, that those, who are sleeping in peace, that they do not care what is written in their graves and all the administrative issues are just irrelevant for them. But those ones who still live, they care - the families and relatives.
Unmarked graves, improperly market or mislabeled is just a disrespect for the families and for the heroes - it is a disrespect for their worthiness and achievements, for everything they did for the country. They sacrifice their lives. So mark the grave correctly is the very easy, trivial act, how to show the respect for those who are already lying under the earth. It is the least what anyone could do, where just a moment of full concentration is needed....Hence, it is so little, what needs to be done to mark the grave in proper way, it is such a big shame and disgrace, that the Arlington administration did not pay enough attention while marking the graves. The heroes sacrificed their lives for the country, while the bureaucrats did not sacrifice even an attention.
