I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text here

We've got 1930s newsreel sound clips this week (Fancy!) which talk about the time the US Army attack US WWI veterans in Washington, DC on the order of the US president... true story. If you don't know about the Bonus Army in 1932, you need to hear it; not exactly the "support our troops" mentality of politicians today. Oh, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier gets its permanent sarcophagus and epitaph 10 years after its initial dedication but the ceremony doesn't  go quites as planned.

This week’s Ghost of Arlington are:

  1. Civilian James Parks (Section 15E, Grave 2)
  2. Army Private First Class William Hushka (Section 18, Grave 2262)
  3. Army Private First Class Eric Carlson  (Section 18, Grave 5217)
