Just breaking.
Sad, very, very sad. I've heard rumors of this this year,but this is the first official word from the military.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/10/AR2010061002249.html?wpisrc=nl_natlalertThe Army says at least 200 remains in Arlington National Cemetery may have been misidentified or misplaced, casting a shadow over what has been called America's "sacred ground."
Defense officials said Thursday that the Army has forced out the cemetery's two civilian leaders and appointed a new chief.
The Army says it plans a more thorough investigation of the questioned grave sites under the new management.

This has just got to be (or will be) devastating to the families involved. Let's hope they can repair alot of the damage!
