With advances in DNA analysis and identification, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was to have been a relic of the past, to be honored, surely, but never to be repeated. Salon has the story of a new Unknown tombstone at Arlington Cemetery, from within the last decade.
It makes me sad to think that those who would give their life for the country would be so shabbily treated by the Army in their final repose.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
