Arlington National Cemetery is running out of room. In order to preserve the tradition of burial at America’s foremost military cemetery, the @usarmy, which runs @arlingtonnatl, says that it may have to deny it to nearly all veterans who are living today. Already the final resting place for more that 420,000 veterans and their relatives, the cemetery has been adding about 7,000 more each year. At that rate, even if the last rinds of open ground around its edges are put to use, the cemetery will be completely full in about 25 years. The #Army wants to keep Arlington going for at least another 150, but with no room to grow, the only way to do so is to significantly tighten the rules for who can be buried there. That has prompted a difficult debate over what it means to the nation. Arlington is not the only place for military burials, of course — there are 135 national cemeteries across the country. But it’s by far the most prominent. The strictest proposal would allow burials there only for service members who are killed in action or awarded the Medal of Honor. “What does the nation want us to do?” Arlington’s executive director, Karen Durham-Aguilera, said. “If the nation has the will to say we want to keep Arlington special and available, we have to make a change.” @damonwinter took these photos while on #nytassignment at #Arlington.
