I was in St. Louis visiting family over the weekend. 

On my way out of town this morning I stopped by Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.

Looks a lot like Arlington.  Arlington and the Viet Nam Wall are two places that just have an eerie feeling when you are there.

That's a great picture, Pat, along with your original post - didn't see this 3-1/2 yrs ago.
Be sure to tell him plenty of stories of his great grandfather.
