who were injured at the Abbey Gate Bombing, during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on August 26, 2024 in Arlington, Virginia. An aide to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump "abruptly pushed aside" an Arlington National Cemetery employee who tried to ensure that Trump and his entourage adhered to federal laws and policies that "clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds," a U.S. Army spokesperson said Thursday. The spokesperson said that participants in Trump's visit to Arlington and the visit to Section 60 graves were made aware of laws barring political activities on military cemetery grounds, such as Arlington. The Army called out the Trump camp's efforts to smear the cemetery employee in an unusually direct public statement. Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said the Arlington employee initiated the physical altercation.

Oklahoma City AP —A third set of remains with a gunshot wound has been found at a Tulsa cemetery in the search for graves of victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, according to a state official. “We have exhumed him, he is in the forensic lab and undergoing analysis,” on-site at Tulsa’s Oaklawn Cemetery, Stackelbeck said. The discovery comes nearly a month after the first identification of remains previously exhumed during the search for massacre victims were identified as World War I veteran C.L. Forensic anthropologist Phoebe Stubblefield said no gunshot wound was found in Daniel’s remains, but said the remains were fragmented and a cause of death could not be determined. The remains exhumed during the current search are among 40 graves found, Stackelbeck said, and meet the criteria for how massacre victims were buried, based on newspaper articles at the time, death certificates and funeral home records.

From under a parking lot in the center of Berlin, a team of archaeologists unearthed ancient human skeletons of nearly 4,000 forgotten dead from a bygone church cemetery paved over by a former Communist regime. In that time, scientists plumbed information from inside bones — some older than 1160 — and in between ancient teeth. They made startling discoveries, including that the city was inhabited nearly a century earlier than believed. But bones hold only so many secrets. They will rest in state in a museum, Petri Berlin, at the same place where they had been ignominiously blacktopped over.
