Charlie I would never step in front of someone more deserving than my self however, I would like to find a final resting place for my wife (a vet also) and myself somewhere in Arlington. Neither of us have a purple hearts or silver stars. By all means they should take priority but when I go I want to be cremated and put on the property somewhere. Hell they can just spread my ash on the property, I will be in great company.

There is definitely still room in the wall with the "urns" so that should not be a problem.

I never considered it until I visited. The sign as you enter says it all "you are entering hallowed ground". I had chills the entire time I was there

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Charlie I know I have lived pretty fast and on the edge somewhat but now that I have slowed down I am hoping for at least another 200/300 years. If the medical powers that be can help me get rid of all the pain from the first 50+ hahaha

I think the MOAA's recommendations are reasonable. This does not affect me since my wife and I will be buried in the Georgia National Cemetary in Canton, GA.

It is a beautiful location with those rolling hills.

LTC John Griscom I agree, I have two friends that are buried there, just prior to Covid.
