The Graves at Sleepy Hollow

The highlight of my business trip to Tarrytown, New York was the visit my co-worker and I paid to the Sleepy Hollow cemetery.  The church at the cemetery and the cemetery itself are so full of history.  Both Washington Irving (writer of the "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow") and Andrew Carnegie (a famous American businessman) are buried here.  But what put me in absolute awe was all the grave sites of the veterans that fought in the revolutionary war.  Here I was standing in front of grave sites of people who were not only alive during the American revolution, but fought and gave up so much to make our country.  I was moved with emotion that even though these veterans' weather worn grave stones are now covered with moss, discolorations, and cracks, their graves are honored with American flags and plaques commemorating their service.
