關於此地 Leonard Matlovich Grave

在國會公墓(Congressional Cemetery),有一塊沒有刻名字的黑色花崗岩墓碑,上面寫著「一位同性戀越戰退伍軍人」,下方則刻著:「當我在軍隊服役時,他們因為我殺了兩個人而頒給我勳章,卻因為我愛一個人而令我退伍。」這座墓是技術士官 Leonard Matlovich 的長眠之地。1975 年,他在爭取空軍退伍處分期間登上《Time》雜誌封面,標題為「我是同性戀者」。他於 1988 年因愛滋病相關疾病去世,享年 44 歲。 Matlovich 親自設計了這塊墓碑,並刻意不刻名字,以代表所有同性戀軍人。公墓位於華盛頓特區東南部、靠近 Anacostia River,附近也有其他 LGBTQ+ 逝者的墓地。

I took the introductory tour, very informative. It’s a beautiful place full of DC history.

I like cemeteries and have visited many. This one is lovely with a good location, lots of interesting monuments, and good paths and infrastructure. Unfortunately, it’s not being well maintained. I spotted lots of tumbled headstones, the grass needed mowing, and foot traffic is wearing paths that should probably be made permanent. I think the neglect is recent and can hopefully be corrected soon.

Working with Congressional Cemetery’s -newer management - was a dream. Just bought an 8-person (cremation) plot in the more affordable section and working with Lisa was so easy. This cemetery is historic - and “alive” with activities bringing the community together. Highly rec if you are considering purchasing a plot.

It's more of a park than a cemetery. There are dog passes. Inside, there are plenty of benches and water stations, as well as stands for dog owners with bags. It's a quiet, peaceful place, and when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, there are no crowds. They bloom here two weeks later than on the National Mall.

Great hidden gem for locals to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It's also an amazing dog park as well oddly enough. There is a fee to bring your dog at a daily rate or you can get a seasonal pass which is much more cost effective. The funds go to help preserve this area which had gone through an extended period of neglect and is now returned to be a wonderful place to visit. Highly recommend coming during the cherry blossoms or on a nice sunny day. Almost forgot to mention that President Herbert Hoover is here as well.
