Here is a bit of history to begin the day. This is a historic cemetery in South Florida. The cemetery is literally dying due to neglect. Local politicians are uninterested. I guess there isn’t enough mileage to be had from actually doing something to uplift the community. Fair or not, I am not high on elected officials at the moment. At any rate, the video speaks for itself. I believe you will be moved.
