On the edge of Arlington National: Medgar Evers

Posted on April 12, 2021 by Rick

I like to wander the edges of Arlington National Cemetery, by forgotten graves far from the hordes of visitors who don’t stray far from the Kennedy flame and Tomb of the Unknowns. It’s peaceful, feeling like a cemetery instead of … Continue reading →

Clara Barton’s office for missing soldiers no longer lost, too

Posted on March 22, 2021 by Rick

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Rick

I walked past Modern Head several times and didn’t see him. I took this photo and still didn’t see him. But once I looked at the photo in the right angle — there he was. Wow, it sure took me … Continue reading →
