A very moving image. It makes us question "what is an American? who is a patriot?" So many of those interned were Americans, hyphenated Americans as most of us are if we consider our heritage and ancestry, whose loyalties were clearly to the nation represented by the flag on the grave. Who is the patriot?

Tiny patriotism! It is nearly lost on that post. I have a pin exactly like this one.
