Signs, Signs & A Good Fence Atop Fort Monroe

click on photos to enlarge
I didn't understand this Memorial Park. There's nothing "parky" about the area on top of the fort...so getting this post ready I was googling the park and found out it is a pet cemetery...I didn't even notice the graves...how did I miss that? You can read about that HERE (just ignore all the pesky ads through the story...I hate when sites do that!)

    A cemetery for pets on top of a fort. Interesting concept. Now I definitely need to read the link.

    That beautiful, ornate Entry is impressive - the linked story really moved my heart - especially when i think about military families - and how they move about the world . . . somehow this truly made a difference to me. Thank you so much - for the unexpected treasure/story,

      well remember that he was imprisoned at the fort so i guess they thought it would be nice to name a pet cemetery after him ha ;)
