Nothing to blog about
I can't think of a thing to blog about this week except on this Saturday I plan on going to visit the grave of my mom to see if the headstone is still upright! The mowers knock down many of them plus that area is sandy making those heavy stones easy to shift! The 11th of June would be her 114th birthday as she was laid to rest just before her 83rd birthday! My dad was also laid to rest in the same general area of that cemetery but in 1955! I can't remember if he had a tall headstone but I think it was very small as we had no money in those days in 1955!
Now you hear of so many wrong doings at cemeteries including where the fallen soldiers are laid to rest in Arlington national cemetery! Other small cemeteries have dug up the bodies and dumped them in a corner of the cemetery just to resale that plot again! Isn't that a terrible way to operate a place of final resting for your loved ones??? I thought they were controlled by a firm to oversee that type of behavior but maybe not because it's widespread these days!!
We have a national cemetery here in Killeen now approved by department of Veteran Affairs as there are funerals almost daily of the fallen soldiers and the retired older soldiers like myself! Many of us choose to retire here being close to the commissary (food store) and the post exchange for shopping for everything else!
