I was surprised when I looked for an Arlington National Cemetery-themed podcast a few years ago and could not find one. Now, after procrastinating long enough, I have decided to make one myself. Do I know anything about podcasting? No. But I certainly have the skills necessary for audio recording and mixing, right? Absolutely not. Then again, when have I ever let having no experience or qualifications stop me from trying something new?! I'll tell you when, never... well, at least rarely. So here it is folks, the official Ghosts of Arlington Podcast announcement!

This Week's Ghosts of Arlington are:

1. US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Mark E. Stratton, III (Section 60, Grave 8840)
2. US Army Staff Sergeant Darrell Ray Adams, US Army (Section 55, Grave 1369)
