102 More Misplaced Grave Markers Found

The Veterans Affairs Department has found 102 more misplaced grave markers in cemeteries it manages. It found 21 graves with no markers at all. That brings the total of problematic graves to 249, out of about 1.5 million VA has examined. Glenn Powers, deputy undersecretary with the VA's National Cemetery Administration, said the number of discrepancies was small but unacceptable. Earlier, VA notified Congress that problems arose when contractors moved headstones around during grounds renovations.
