Major General Albert Eger Brown


Location:  Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia

Albert Eger Brown Senior, born June 13, 1889 and died October 12, 1984 was a veteran of both world wars.  Also buried with him are his son Albert Eger Brown Jr who died in a car crash on November 21, 1940, and his wife Jesse Weaver Brown.

I don't find much extraodinary about the Browns, the son's tragic death must have been tough, but their story doesn't invoke much feeling.  In addition the grave itself isn't very special, HOWEVER I am a big fan of its location, right under a tree.
