Wife and I put flowers on my mothers grave today as well as my father in law's. He is buried at Jefferson Barracks, amazing to see all the headstones, anyone who doesn't get a lump in their throat or a tear in their eye, needs their behind kicked. There are 184,111 graves there of ones who have served our country honorably. Over 4,000 bodies are buried every year, only have space to last until the year 2020 as per the staff there, Told the wife, I'd like for us to be buried there as well, since spouses are allowed in the same site. Again per the staff member we talked too, there are 8 Medal of Honor winners buried there as well. If you've never have been there, you really should, those military men and women have earned your freedom that you enjoy each and every day of your life.
