Tyler Grey Instagram – Happy Memorial Day. I’ve posted the people I knew well and luckily for me there hasn’t been anyone I have known recently pass. So I’m posting this image of section 60. For those that don’t know: Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia is where those who were in OEF and OIF are buried. Previously those buried in Arlington at least to me seemed rather random as you would have someone from WWI next to someone from WWII etc. Section 60 is all OEF and OIF which is good in the sense that it’s a section dedicated to one group of people but it does have a down side. I was leaving years ago after visiting a grave of someone I knew well and while going through it I was shocked at how many names I knew. I think I spent another 2 hours there after thinking I was leaving. This holiday and how I feel about it changes every year. The strange part about it that I keep thinking about is that the people that it’s actually for aren’t here so I feel guilty even being able to write this. What can I say that does service to the sacrifice? Nothing. Yet silence isn’t service, in fact it’s the opposite so I guess all I can say is: thanks and I wish you were here. | Posted on 30/May/2023 03:26:56
