Stonewall Jackson O'Lantern!

Memorial Day is kind of like Halloween for the military, isn't it? Except you eat bratwurst instead of candy corn, and you hold a seance to try to contact that wacky General George S. Patton or poor Robert E. Lee. (People do this, right?)

I say poooor Robert E. Lee because, dude, they turned his home, Arlington Estate, into Arlington Cemetery. Out of spite. And it was not initially a respectable cemetery, either. It was all impoverished Union soldiers who perished from rickets, buried under Mrs. Lee's begonias.
Just devastating.

I bet Bobby Lee haunts the shit out of Arlington.
Although he's not buried there.

P.S: Nobody should think I'm being disrespectful. Because I'm not.
Support the Troops & Hail to the Chief. Totally.
