Several months ago, I wrote about problems at the Arlington National Cemetery (see http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/06/arlington-national-cemetery-fails-to-computerize.html). Now CNN has revealed that even more problems exist. More graves in Arlington National Cemetery have been discovered to be mismarked after remains were exhumed last month, the Army said Wednesday.
At the request of a deceased soldier's next of kin, one grave was investigated and the remains were discovered to not be the deceased soldier in question. The investigation found discrepancies that concerned two sets of remains, the Army said.

The Army said the errors were immediately addressed.
