Having Ted Kennedy buried in Arlington is an utter travesty. It still makes me angry.
I imagine there are many Navy vets who feel the same way about McCain being buried at Annapolis.
For me this is a relief. I thought McCain was going to be buried at Arlington, too. Will future Naval cadets be required to take part in ceremonies at the grave?
I’m a USNA grad, and I’d rather have McCain at a relatively obscure cemetery than at Arlington where my parents, uncle & aunt, and cousin are interred, and someday, God willing, so will I be, too.
The Hero of Chappaquiddick buried at Arlington *is* a travesty and disrespectful of all honorable persons resting there.
His fellow POW mates in particular:
OTOH, it’s good that McAmnesty is not buried next to his pal Kennedy in Arlington. The Naval Academy is not Arlington and they can dispose of the refuse at a later date with little fanfare.
I have often said that Kennedy should be removed from Arlington and even started a petition to do so...
Kennedy being the traitor he was should not be allowed to rest there among heroes.
“Having Ted Kennedy buried in Arlington is an utter travesty”
That is true. On a positive note though, he was buried.
McCain by normal measures isn't eligible for the Naval Academy either. He had to get a special dispensation from the Secretary of the Navy for this.
Lot of brave me buried at the academy, not sure McCain should there. What is telling and raises questions is why would McCain not want to be buried at Arlington with his Father and Grandfather????????????????
