My
wife
and
I
were
at
the
National
Memorial
Cemetery
of
the
Pacific
in
Honolulu
today.
We
walked
up
the
steps
and
visited
the
memorial
halls
for
the
missing,
the
chapel,
and
then
the
beautiful
mosaics.
We
were
walking
along
the
exterior
road
to
the
scenic
overlook
when
a
gentleman
from
the
security
company
pulled
up
in
a
gray
sedan
and
started
questioning
us
and
accused
us
of
loitering.
He
hassled
us
about
it
and
said
we
had
to
leave.
I
said
I’d
never
had
this
issue
at
other
National
Cemeteries
and
he
said,
“that’s
the
main
land.”
He
then
followed
us
closely
while
we
returned
to
the
center
to
leave.
I
called
the
cemetery
administration
to
complain
and
the
first
gentleman
was
very
interested
and
seemed
concerned
but
then
transferred
me
to
a
higher
up
(Mr
M
something)
who
seemed
to
want
to
tell
me
why
we
were
loitering
or
the
guard
perceived
us
as
exercising.
We
are
a
married
couple
in
our
40’s
and
I’m
a
disabled
vet
with
sketchy
knees
and
a
bad
shoulder.
There
was
no
exercising.
He
then
started
saying
all
he
could
hear
was
my
wife
(talking
to
the
driver
as
we
left
-
as
asked)
and
basically
I
should
call
back.
I’ve
been
to
Arlington,
Gettysburg,
and
Fort
Rosecrans
among
others.
My
Grandfather
is
buried
at
Fort
Custer
in
Battle
Creek,
MI.
I’ve
never
been
hassled
by
a
private
security
guard
at
any
of
these
National
Cemeteries
and
told
to
leave.
We
came
to
pay
our
respects
and
the
beautiful
scenery
while
marveling
at
the
magnificent
monuments
to
our
fallen.
I
wanted
to
pay
my
respects
to
Ernie
Pyle.
Instead
I
was
disrespected
and
thrown
out
of
a
National
Cemetery.
