I took my children, wife and mother in law (who was a WAVE durring WWII) to Florida's National Cemetery (no wise cracks). I've been to Arlington several times and Florida's National was very nice... large, well groomed and sectioned for ancellary groups of service branches (WACS, WAVES). They DID NOT HAVE ANYONE PLAYING TAPS... no progams at all. I was very disapointed in that.
But I did find a relative burried there that I never met. A cousin with the same last name who served in WWII both in the Army and Marines. I walked through nearly a thousand head stones until I found him ( I looked up the section but forgot the plot number). I found a few other things that day that really stood out; The number of young kids recently burried amoung the aging vets, the few vets who died in Iraq that also served in Nam, and the huge number of hispanic names on the head stones that have died recently! I found a lot of personal cards and letters written by the kids of the soilders, lots of flowers, a bottle of Jack Daniels, a pencil bag and an apple for a guy who was a teacher (that broke my heart) and some one who place their markmanship metals and ribbons on top of a kids headstone. It was a somber day.
I will have my youngest play taps their next year or I will learn my self.... I'll write to my congress critters to find out what happened.
