First off, an apology. For some reason, the audio got wonky in the final third of the show. I cleaned it up the best I could but as I have said before, I really don't have any idea what I'm doing when it comes to this. This week we talk about the Spanish American War and the approval to bury Confederate dead in the cemetery.

This week's Ghost of Arlington are:

The USS Maine Memorial
Brevet Major General (and former Confederate Lieutenant General) Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler (Section 2, Grave 1089)
