Comment on 11.11.11 – Veterans Day by Ellie K

No one is better cared for after death, well, in terms of mortal remains, than U.S. military veterans buried in National Cemeteries. (Well, it probably is true for veterans in other countries too, that have military burials). Both burial and care-taking of the deceased is attentive and respectful. I’m sure that’s partly because most of the staff are former service people, destined for burial in the same place.

One could pay a lot of money for a loved one to be buried somewhere offering high end, personal services. But ultimately, when you aren’t visiting, the staff will do as they see best. At the Florida National Cemetery, I know my father is looked after. I phone from Arizona. The good people who work there chat with me, send photos of the grave on Veteran’s Day (which I would never see otherwise), even tell me when there are visitors, what type of flowers etc. It comforts me. I miss my father so, so much. But I know his grave will never be neglected. I will be thankful for that for the rest of my life.

Thank you for writing this gentle post acknowledging Veteran’s Day on 11/11/2011.

[...] In California, buildings are constructed to strict codes that require stronger walls, deeper foundations and features that will make them more likely to survive a strong earthquake, and some older buildings have been improved to meet these requirements. This is also the case in other regions, and overseas in countries such as Japan. The superior construction of buildings was key to the survival of many during the recent earthquakes. [...]
