    Col. Kurt Wagner, 88th RSC Director of Public Works, conducts a burial site inspection at the Woodmere Cemetery located in downtown Detroit, Oct. 9. The 88th RSC is responsible for seven cemeteries, to include inspection of three civilian re-interment sites which are located in Columbus, Denver and Detroit. “We conduct a physical inspection of these sites and make sure our Soldiers’ and their families’ graves are deservingly maintained,” said Wagner. “Is the grass mowed, are the tombstones clean and unbroken, are they in alignment, is the site well maintained? If we find issues we bring them to the cemetery management and work with them until they are resolved.” “This country has always treated our graveyards as sacred ground,” said Wagner. “This is a part of our history – and after more than 200 years in some cases, we are still maintaining those Soldiers’ grave sites.”
