Crusty, you're absolutely correct, but being overwhelmed by the sight and presence of fellow servicemen you never knew, and maybe some whom you did know, is evidence of a life spent in the service our Country, rather than the self.
I'm a bit discordant tonight, but my intent is to say that anytime you've an opportunity to visit a Veteran's cemetery, please do so. It is good for both the vets, and for your soul.
