A couple of piles of headstones have been found in creek beds ion the former plantation of Robert E. Lee.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Wednesday, after The Washington Post alerted the cemetery to their presence, officials there said they were shocked to find the gravestones lying in the muck near a maintenance yard. Already under fire in recent days for more than 200 unmarked or misidentified graves and a chaotic and dysfunctional management system, cemetery officials vowed to investigate the headstones along the stream and take &#8220;immediate corrective action,&#8221; said Kaitlin Horst, a cemetery spokeswoman.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said they do not know how the stones got there, whom they belong to, or how old they are. Horst could say only that &#8220;they appear to be decades old.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Doug Sterner (who sent us the picture and the link) and the Washington Post are asking us to put out our feelers and see if we can identify this particular hero whose name is obscured by decades of water damage. The symbol at the top of the headstone was discontinued in the early 80s, so you may know him or of him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is worn and faded but seems to identify the person as a Navy captain, whose name is something like J. Warren McLaughlin.<\/p>\n<p>Or is it L. Warren McLaughel? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you have any idea who this might be, email me or the author of the WaPo article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the news that Arlington National Cemetary was generally mismanaged by the people we hired to &hellip; <a title=\"Discarded headstones at Arlington\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19475\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Discarded headstones at Arlington<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
