Biography of James Parks |
The first graves in Arlington National Cemetery were dug by James Parks, a former Arlington Estate slave. Parks was freed in 1862 under the terms of the will of his former owner, George Washington Parke Custis. He still lived on Arlington Estate when Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton signed the orders designating Arlington as a military burial ground. Parks served in the U.S. Army from 1861 to 1929 by working as a grave digger and maintenance man for the cemetery. When James Parks died on Aug. 21, 1929, Secretary of War Stanton granted special permission for him to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. James Parks is the only person buried in Arlington National Cemetery who was born on the property (1843). He is buried near Selfridge Gate (West Gate) in Section 15, Grave 2 (Grid G-26). |
SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY
Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated on June 6, 1968, after winning the California Democratic Primary for President. He was interred in Arlington National Cemetery on the evening of June 8, 1968. He is interred in Section 45, near the grave of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. Senator Kennedy was eligible for interment in Arlington National Cemetery because he had served as the Attorney General in his brother’s administration and had served honorably in the United States Navy during the late World War II. A reflecting pool with excerpts from speeches he gave highlights the gravesite, his grave is marked by a simple white wooden cross and a marble footstone.
SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY
Senator Edward M. Kennedy died on August 25, 2009, after a long fight against brain cancer. Senator Kennedy had represented the State of Massachusetts in the US Senate for 43 years. He was interred in section 45 approximately 100 feet to the south of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, on the evening of August 29, 2009. His grave is marked by a white wooden cross and marble footstone identical to his brother Robert’s. He was eligible for burial in Arlington National Cemetery by virtue of his service in the United States Senate and his honorable service with the United State Army from 1951-1953.
Maj. Glenn Miller |
Remember Glenn Miller, the noted composer, arranger, trombonist, and Big Band leader? Maj. Alton Glenn Miller, U.S. Army Air Corps has been missing in action since Dec. 15, 1944. Miller was eligible for a memorial headstone in Arlington National Cemetery as a service member who died on active duty whose remains were not recoverable. At his daughter's request, a stone was placed in Memorial Section H, Number 464-A on Wilson Drive in Arlington National Cemetery in April 1992. During World War II, Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band, forerunner of the Airmen of Note, entertained more than a million troops. Maj. Miller combined military and musical precision to create a band which many say was even better than his civilian band. Considered the father of modern military music, Miller should also be remembered as an American patriot. |

А теперь вашему вниманию предлагается небольшой бонус. Можете проверить, насколько внимательно вы читали Популярную энциклопедию. Но имейте в виду, что не все ответы есть в этой книге. Это говорит лишь о том, что тема «Соединенные Штаты Америки» слишком велика, чтобы полностью найти свое воплощение в одной (хоть и очень толстой) книге.
