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

This week's marathon episode fulfills my promise back in Episode 9 to tell the story of the men of the Allied Expeditionary Forces who selected the WWI Unknown Soldier and returned his remains to the United States for burial at Arlington. I also get to talk a little about my experience laying flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as part of the Tombs 100th anniversary commemoration. Spoiler: It was awesome!

This week’s Ghost of Arlington are:

  1. Army Sergeant Edward Younger (Section 18, Grave 1918-B)
  2. Navy Chief Gunner's Mate James Delaney
  3. Marine Corps Sergeant Major Ernest Janson (Evergreen Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY)
  4. Army Master Sergeant James Dell (St. Augustine National Cemetery, FL)
  5. Army Corporal Thomas Saunders (Golden Gate National Cemetery, CA)
  6. Navy Chief Water Tender Charles Leo O'Conner (Section 17, Grave 22633)
  7. Army First Sergeant Harry Taylor
  8. Army Major Samuel Woodfill (Section 34, Grave 642)
  9. Army Master Sergeant Louis Razga  (Longwood Cemetery, PA)
