Mike Coffman actually said...

I believe, to the American people, that when they associate the Arlington National Cemetery, they do so in thinking about our war dead.

If nothing is done, in a matter of 23 short years, the cemetery will be closed for new burials.

if we are going to keep Arlington there for generations to come, those who have been lost or who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense...

This iconic resting place for generations of brave men and women who have served their country is truly a national treasure.
