The photos can't convey the emotion of seeing such disrespect of the deceased in person.

There are also a lot of veterans buried here and a lot of them from The Civil War, most all of them are CSA.

Use quotes instead of brackets on your a href link... and leave them out entirely for the words beween the link and the /a part.

That is... replace the first 2 brackets with quotes, and delete the second set of brackets.
