Austin Memorial Cemetery

Resting place for many Texas Ranges, and a few other names of notoriety.
Not to be miseed
I went here in search of 2 graves.
Frank Hamer. The Texas Ranger who was brought out of retirement to stop Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. He would have preferred to have brought them in alive, but sometimes you have no choice. He did the best he could. Known for being Hard nosed lawman.

James Michner. Writer of South Pacific. Pulitzer winning authoro

What I found were several graves with Swastikas. The German army adopted this symbol due to their leader's obsession with the occult and superstitions. But the Swastika is still a positive symbol used by several Asian cultures. Used here, these are markers of their faith.
