This is the grave site after the ceremony was over. Helen Cragg's grave stone is clearly visible. The grave is on the front row along the road leading up to the Kennedy Grave stop for the Tourmobile. For the last 34 years it has displayed "Helen Petraborg Cragg - 1st Lieutenant - 21 Evac Hosp - World War II" to all the tourists who have come by. There among all the graves for General So-and-so, Admiral So-and-so, Colonel So-and-so was this one solo marker for a 1st Lieutenant. I wonder if anybody has ever noticed it and wondered about the incongruity
Current Events Note: the green and white object at the base of the grave above Helen's stone is the temporary marker for Chief Justice William O Rehnquist.
Editorial Note: Helen's grave stone was in error, she served with the 91st Evacuation Hospital, not the 21st. This was corrected on the combinded grave stone.. |
