    Spouse are also buried in the same graves. There really isn't any space for it to grow in the area unless they BRAC Fort Myer. Which they won't do. They should create a secondary facility in Quantico or go to cremation only policy and build musaliam.

    Lots of reasons. Laws about moving graves and such, plus we have plenty of land here. Plus, were talking about graves that are 150 years old and less, not really an ancient burial ground.

    I have never been to DC but would love to visit ANC and the memorials there. My daughter went her Senior year with the Honor's Choir and they sang at a home for Veterans in DC and visited all to see there..It was humbling experience for her...btw Davii I hope you're doing well.

    They don't need to BRAC Ft. Meyers, they could grow into it, they could annex areas of parking at the Pentagon, they could redesign infrastructure in the area, etc. While it's not easy for them to grow there are options for expanding and changing eligibility rules that would alleviate the issue. I don't see making another cemetery an hour drive away as being a viable option for expanding Arlington.

    Fair enough mo.

    Thanks for the reply.

    In that case I would go to cremation only. Burying bodies is stupid in my opinion.

    They will never give up parking at pentagon. Fort Meyers is turning into the new Navy Annex for the pentagon.

    They could triple parking by building a structure and still give up space. There's no need for just a regular lot there. Tale a look at the plans, they could easily grow into Ft. Meyers with minimal impact.
