I was wondering where Robert Albin Whitted is buried. I didn’t see his name listed but I know he is buried at Arlington because I was at his funeral. I am his ex-step mother. He was killed in Viet Nam by throwing himself on a hand grenade to save some of his fellow troops. He had only been in VN for 29 days. He died in February, 1970. Thanks for any information you can give me. I’d like to be able to show ths site to his dad, he is in a rest home in Fresno, California.

Michael Robert Patterson was born in Arlington and is the son of a former officer of the US Army. So it was no wonder that sooner or later his interests drew him to American history and especially to American military history. Many of his articles can be found on renowned portals like the New York Times, Washingtonpost or Wikipedia.
