Pennslyvania is bullshit because you have to pay to drive across the state but the roads suck and the speed limit isn't 70.

NJ is great because you have some of the richest counties in the US bordering some of the poorest so it's really easy to go from well kept smooth roads to potholes and car jackings.

The NY State Expressway is decent but I guess it isn't maintained by NYDOT.



I've lived in Northern VA most of my life and this was the first time I've been to the USMC War Memorial or Arlington National Cemetery. I didn't realize that ANC is a tourist destination. They all get funneled up to the Tomb of the Unknown and the Changing of the Guard and all that but its still a real pain in the rear end/not what I expected. Its also kind of weird that half the markers were for some dude's wife. Like...here is our shrine to our war dead and the women they knocked up.

I haven't been to Arlington since I was a toddler, but in other national cemetaries I've visited, the spouse's information is on the back of the servicemember's stone. I assumed all the major ones did it the same way.

quote:

g. Spouses and Dependents

(1) The spouse, surviving spouse or dependent of an eligible Veteran or member of the Armed Forces may be eligible for interment in a national cemetery even if that Veteran is not buried or memorialized in a national cemetery.

(2) The surviving spouse of an eligible Veteran who had a subsequent remarriage to a non-Veteran and whose death occurred on or after January 1, 2000, is eligible for burial in a national cemetery, based on his or her marriage to the eligible Veteran.

(3) The minor children of an eligible Veteran. For purpose of burial in a national cemetery, a minor child is a child who is unmarried and:

(a) Who is under 21 years of age; or,

(b) Who is under 23 years of age and pursuing a full-time course of instruction at an approved educational institution.

(4) The unmarried adult child of an eligible Veteran. For purpose of burial in a national cemetery, an unmarried adult child is:

Of any age but became permanently physically or mentally disabled and incapable of self-support before reaching 21 years of age, or before reaching 23 years of age if pursuing a full-time course of instruction at an approved educational institution. Proper supporting documentation must be provided.

Usually with national cemeteries its the veteran and their spouse if that spouse chooses to be buried next to them. Or in the event of the spouse dying first, the veteran can choose to have them buried in a national cemetery by reserving a dual plot. Or at least thats the way it was explained to my family when my grandfather died in 04.

Was it this thread that had some footage of them in a firefight which amounted to everyone standing around a corner and taking turns sort of half-jogging into the open to spray a magazine towards where they assume the enemy is before leisurely walking away, presumably to wait their turn in line to do it all over again?
