Graves moved after mix-up in Arlington National Cemetery
Posted: Sept. 16, 2010

Three people were buried in the wrong graves at Arlington National Cemetery, the Army said Wednesday as it followed up an investigation into bookkeeping problems and burial mix-ups at one of the nation's most hallowed sites.

The remains were all former members of the armed forces.


"The families are satisfied that the problem was fixed," Army spokesman Gary Tallman said Wednesday.

Each year almost 4 million people visit Arlington, where more than 300,000 remains are buried, including Civil War troops and two U.S. presidents.
