Wow, those are some cool pics. I have a few of really old markers I will try to post here if I can locate them.
My dad is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in D.C.. Walking around that place is amazing. It's almost too much for words.

OMG Yeah I went there a few years ago... seeing all those white stones lined up perfectly and knowing who's buried there... that just rocks you. We saw the changing of the guards which was very cool.

Used to go there on the weekends when I lived in alexandria with my parents... thats what started me on this whole thing... maybe sometime Ill head back up there and actually take my time going through it...

I think that with the time off that I have coming up I might make a day trip to Indy to check out the one listed before

I agree. I couldnt read a word of it, but I can appreciate quality art when I see it. I was lucky enough to watch a guy recreate individual pages of the Qur'an, but he used the old medieval era Thuluth script embellished with art and gold leaf...amazing! Each of those pages were an absolute masterpiece!

They are now restricting burials at Arlington because they are running out of room.
