A lone figure could be seen at the Arlington National Cemetery walking in the rain [View all]

Last edited Wed Nov 14, 2018, 11:38 AM - Edit history (4)

Over the weekend, a lone figure could be seen at the Arlington National Cemetery walking in the rain. He quietly surprised many families who had traveled to see the graves of their loved ones. He offered kind words of love and encouragement. He was the 44th President.

I love Obama, but why is this still not being attributed to a story/photo several years ago? DemocracyMouse Nov 2018 #39
