I believe burying the war dead on our own land is a tradition (if I can call it that) that is unique to the United States.
A very, very honorable thing to do.
Just one of the many things that put us head and shoulders above everyone else.
(Sorry NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo!)
Don’t forget the Cemeteries in other countries such as France where our military men are laid to rest. They are, in fact, lying in American soil as the land has been given to our country in perpetuity. The American cemeteries should be visited whenever possible as they are an immense reminder of the sacrifices made to keep this country strong and safe.
Speaking of cemeteries and American soil, many people do not know that Lafayette, hero of our Revolution, is buried in Paris and covered by American soil from Bunker Hill.
There are a whole bunch of kids in Manila who might wonder what you are talking about.
