Coincidence??? |

This was a special section for officers and two of the graves with large stones were those of Medal of Honor recipients. It appeared that the five graves with larger stones had been relocated here from other cemeteries.

I found some bad wording in my comment and couldn't stand to leave it that way. So I deleted the photo and started over. Susan Williams' message was lost, but here it is reproduced: Susan Williams member since: 6/11/2004 I am very taken with your story and the image, Michelle. Thank you for the extra effort to share it. The stone bears the inscription, "Rest, Brother, Rest." So very touching, and what a gift to Bill that day. 4/9/2013 6:44:19 AM

This is what draws me to cemeteries... each grave site is someone's story. Thank you for sharing this one with us. As for Bill's following an unknown "string" to this spot - I've often turned around to return, urged on by a feeling that there was a hand guiding me there.

This is a wonderful story Michelle! Hopefully this photo will live on, as the gravestone, in family history. I, myself have had a similar find, something I was not aware of or looking for and it does make you believe. This was no accident . Cindy

I think it was definitely fate that brought you to the cemetery that day and led Bill to that particular monument. Thank you Michelle for sharing your wonderful story with us.

What a fabulous find! No coincidence that Bill found that headstone among almost 12,000. Stories are what make the photos so compelling.
