The husband of one of our guides at Surratt House was a three-star general. He died last year in May, but the funeral did not happen until July.

My uncle was buried at Arlington, but that would have been back in the late 60's. I have memories from about 12 or 13 of riding in the funeral procession all the way from northern New Jersey (where he had retired after a career in the Air Force) (he was originally from Texas).
