dfw national cemetary
from I-20 or from 408, take Mountain Creek Parkway to #2000. It’s all new, so he wasn’t in the locator computer but he’s right by the front 25/509. The headstone arrives mid to late March, but there is a temporary grave marker until then.

It’s a very pretty site. Anyone who feels like going out there should take a drive around. He’s buried near lots of other people, so he has an audience (he really likes to talk) and he’s near the water so he can go sailing which he hasn’t done in a long time.

They dig the graves with a tractor because they have to dig so many. They are burying on average 40 people/week. The tractors seemed normal and familiar since he was construction management prior to his becoming disabled (originally back problems, and then his foot wound).
