We couldn't believe how nice the factility was, right in the middle of grouse country, a resort and enormous lake on the property, really out in the mountains. We later buried Linda's aunt there. I always thought I would be in a crypt at Arlington, but no, I will be out there in Western Maryland at Rocky Gap. By the way, Rocky Gap State Park is now a major casino venue. Best of both worlds. This is one of at least two state sponsored veterans cemeteries in MD. Please investigate your state veterans cemeteries so you don't have to go to God forsaken Arlington. Just joking, of course. I would be honored to be buried at Arlington like many of my friends.

I think that cemetery is something special. I have already filed the papers to buried there. Can't say I am looking forward to that but I have it set up already so my family need do very little when the time comes.
