Every time a go on a photo trip to Arlington Cemetery – I make it a point to seek out a specific grave. This time I went to find Dashiel Hammett – author of hardboiled detective stories – inventor of Sam Spade and Nick and Nora. He spent WW2 in Alaska and was blacklisted in the 1950’s. Thanks for all the good stories Sgt Hammett.
BTW – he is buried in an “ordinary” location – not in one of the VIP sections.
