| 説明 | U.S. Marine Corps flag bearers and urn bearer.On May 9, 2013, Arlington National Cemetery dedicated its ninth columbarium.More than 400,000 people are buried at ANC, but the cemetery is rapidly running out of space and it cannot grow. It's estimated that below-ground burials may cease by 2025, and cremated burials will cease by 2060. Columbaria -- places where urns filled with cremated ashes are "buried" -- are the wave of the future at Arlington. Four were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and four more in the early 2000s. After the ANC mismangement controversy in 2008 (people in the wrong graves, headstones thrown out, etc.), Army auditors began combing ANC accounts. They discovered $27 million in unspent funds -- and Congress gave the OK to spend $15.6 million of it on building the new columbarium. Ground was broken in November 2011. The 62,640 square-foot columbarium can hold more than 20,000 people.The Missing In America Project locates the remains of U.S. veterans that have gone unclaimed, and has them buried in a nearby V.A. cemetery.To help dedicate the columbarium, six veterans whose remains had gone unclaimed were buried today. They are:* Lycurgus P. McCormack, Private, US Army (Civil War)* Albert E. Klatt, Private, US Marine Corps (World War II)* Peter H. Schwartz, Seaman 2d Class, US Navy (World War I)* Zuinglius K. McCormack, 1st Lt., US Army (Civil War)* Dennis Banks, SSgt, US Air Force (Vietnam War)* Virginia E. Wood, Seaman 2d Class, US Coast Guard (World War II) |
