Why all of this chatter about colonels and military matters of which I know nothing? If you military brats are so interested in paying your respects to the colonel, you should be aware that he is buried NOT in Florida, NOT in California. He died in 1976 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, which is located in the state of Virginia. So you should be redirecting your commentaries to the illustrious military cemetery where perhaps they could someday also find a vault in which to lock you away, but only if you paid your military dues.
