Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Kerry. And I didn’t know about the Boundary Stones until I Googled them just now, Jennifer. How are you documenting them?

Great story, thanks for sharing. I also enjoy the rich history of cemetaries. Congressional is a pretty neat place so thanks for including that too. My friends and I have been documenting the DC Boundary stones, which are technically the oldest federal monuments. Its been a lot of work but fascinating.

Great history lesson, Laurie. I drive by Arlington every day. A few times a week I see a hearse driving along the GW Parkway toward the cemetary with a flag drapped coffin in the back. A harsh reminder that people are still dying in wars for this country. It’s always very sobering.
