Bennie,

Took a trip to the cemetery today in Portsmouth, VA.  It's actually three 
combined. The 1st two were heavily overgrown. Definitely needs to get the 
grass cut! I walked to the back cemetery closest to the interstate & that 
wasn't as bad. Seems the grass has been cut. There are around 25 USCTs 
buried there  I was able to take about 5-6 pics due to the overgrowth. 
Hopefully in the fall I can get back in there & do some more work.

Bennie,

Looks like there may be more than 25 at the cemeteries. 
Going thru my pics I've already found 3-4 not on the list 
& another I can't find in any database. Looks like I have 
my work cut out this winter...
