re: #105 Stonemason

Every one since 1864?

I know it’s not a cemetery devoted to soldiers of one particular war, but here’s how my thought process goes…

When I think of Arlington Cemetery I think of the civil war.

Because that’s when it first opened and that’s how we got it, because the north ceased what used to be one of General Lee’s estates and turned it into a place to bury their dead.

Granted I suppose it’s not quite as idiotic as saying “would you put a statue to Hitler in Flanders Field?”

Since Flanders Field was only used bury the dead of WW1, right? (I could be wrong about that also…)
