I was very surprised to find the CPT in this display, especially after having visited him on Wednesday.
My kids now have him right up there with Washington, Lincoln, and FDR, which I suppose is about right.

My daughters moved to DC about 8 years ago. We now have 2 grand daughters living just a short distance from Arlington and have been there a several times.

Last November I was fortunate enough to attend the funeral of Colonel Jack Moroney. It was the first time I ever attended a full Military Funeral. I was at a lose for words.

One of these day we will get to see Spring and the Cheery blossoms..

RIP

Thanks for the pictures, JJ. RIP, Colonel Jack...you are greatly missed.


I've been to Arlington/DC only once but it was while the Cherry blooms were in full glory. It was breathtaking...
