These posts may not garner many comments, but they are poignant, well received, and do resonate with some of us similarly moved who pause to reflect on how truly fortunate we are.

Tantum Eruditi Sunt Liberi

Very nice sentiment PoP. I think of these guys everytime I go by the cemetary, which is a lot.

Technicality, but isn’t the cemetary really in Brookland?

Also – has anyone found Upton Sinclar in Rock Creek Church Cemetary? The Wikipedia page for the cemetary has photo of the marker and a general area, but that general area is HUGE!

Some of us have a hard time forgetting about the guys overseas – we went to church with a family who finally got to go home after 84 surgeries and two and a half years of living with their two year old (now four year old) in a motel room near Walter Reed. You can check out their story at http://www.homesforourtroops.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TravisWood.

And my younger brother goes to Afghanistan in December. Last time he went to Kuwait, and my youngest brother was sent over to Iraq a month before he came home, so it was three years of feeling sick every time I looked at a newspaper headline about an attack on American soldiers. Maybe I’ll lose twenty pounds again…

Let the fun begin again.

Who’s who in Rock Creeek Cemetery goes with Gilbert Grosvenor who publshed National Geographic, Matthew Gault Emery, who was a Governor of DC lived at what is now Emery Heights Park, the wife of Henry Adams with a haunting statue of Grief, and countless others with the Colonial era St Paul’s Church.
