The mismanagement and neglect of Arlington National Cemetery that led to hundreds of veterans' graves being either mislabeled or lost now appears much more far-reaching than officials previously disclosed, according to a Senate hearing Thursday.
But they directed most of their outrage and frustration toward former cemetery Superintendent John C. Metzler Jr., who acknowledged knowing about the identification problems as far back as 2003.
"Personally, it is very painful for me that our team at Arlington did not perform all aspects of its mission to the high standard required," he said. "I was the senior government official in charge and I accept full responsibility for all of my actions and my team's actions."
