A WW II vet visits wife's grave carried by Arlington Cemetery employee
 [FOX] A World War II veteran who visited the Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday to make a surprise trip to his wife's grave got an extra lift from an employee, literally.George Boone, 96, came to the cemetery on an Honor Flight from North Carolina, where groups typically make the trip to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Boone requested to visit the gravesite of his late wife, Alma, who passed away in 2007. In the rush to get over to his wife's final resting spot, Boone's wheelchair was accidentally left behind. "I just sort of gave up on the whole thing and thought I would have to visit her from that distance," he told FOX5 over Skype on Sunday. The 'Quiet Professional' Arlington Cemetery employee wished to remain anonymous. His selfless act will no doubt one day be recognized by a much high authority. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-05-01 |
