I trust the arm will be given a proper burial like that revolutionary war hero, Benedict Arnold's Arm.

Yes, the man minus the arm was the first notable traitor against our nation, but before his treason he gave his arm in the service of his country. (I forget which battlefield has a monument to the arm.)

Jees, the things we learn on Free Republic.

It wasn't his arm. It was his leg. It also wasn't amputated. Arnold was wounded and he recovered with his leg intact.

Actually, I think it was Benedict Arnold's LEG.
