        This is something I didn't know (or remember) as I've been there several times. My Dad & me at Changing of Guard 10/1963. He was USAF & Vietnam Vet who started teaching me about service & duty to country at a young age. 🇺🇸pic.twitter.com/M8ACXcwCcL

        Here's a list of the very first burials at Arlington National Cemetery on May 13, 14, and 15, 1864 -- in the midst of the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House.pic.twitter.com/WF0CwufYDP

        According to one account, Lincoln & Quartermaster Montgomery Meigs were walking the grounds of what is now Arlington National Cemetery and Meigs ordered the burial of 12 dead soldiers right there & then. Actually, there were 2 burials on the 13th; 6 on the 14th; & 7 on the 15th.pic.twitter.com/vhqsqh0kqc

        I believe it was done to upset Lee and his family.

        The Army officers who decided on these burials were not pleased with the choices their former classmate had made.

        This information, sans Lee's estate info, was the basis of a Final Jeopardy answer, I believe under "US Landmarks" category, a few months ago.

        People forget this fascinating tidbit of history. Kind of the ultimate middle finger to Lee.

        After the civil war, Union pensioners, unhappy with not receiving their pensions, camped out on the Capitol lawn. Artifacts from this protest were found during construction of the visitor center during Bush II admin.
