I am mortified to see this picture included for all of marco to see. I understand that honoring our fallen heros, and veterens is a wonderful thing and that this ceromony was held at the Marco Island Cemetary, but honestly can we not respect the dead? The lady that is camped out on a grave with her feet on the tombstone while the people infront of her use the gavestones as back resters is just appaling to see. I am ashamed of how these people thought.
