Virginia's wood fire pizzerias, like Stuzzi (pictured), are dishing out pies with locally-sourced toppings, pairing them with local craft beer ...

We are sad to say that Oakland Cemetery Association Co-founder Susie Mingee passed away Monday and will be laid to rest in Oakland Saturday morning. Anyone that can do anything to help clean the cemetery before Saturdays service would be an honor to all Susie has done to help Oakland.

HEART FELT WORDS:
Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound;
And yet to hearts like mine and thine
It should be holy ground.

Speak softly, let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.

For him no reveille will beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunders from the drum.

Tread lightly! for a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God.

I WILL BE TRYING TO EVENTUALLY PLACE ALL OF OUR SERVICE BRANCHES ON HERE. IT WILL BE A SLOW ADVENTURE, AT THIS TIME ONE PERSON(ME).
VOLUNTEERS ARE APPRECIATED.
BY GIVING THIS A TRY IT MAY BE MUCH EASIER FOR THE FAMILIES TO FIND THEIR MILITARY LOVED ONES. AT LEST KNOWING THEY ARE HERE.
THERE ARE SO MANY UNMARKED GRAVE'S IN HERE IT IS ALARMING.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.

GOOD MORNING OAKLAND SUPPORTERS.
YESTERDAY IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THE LAFB SERGENT'S ASSOCIATION OWNED OAKLAND.
BY ALL MEANS ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY THIS NEW MYTH.
IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS THAT FACTUAL NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN A BLINK.
THE PROPERTY IS STILL OWNED AND HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN IN THE NAME/OWNED BY OAKLAND ESTATES, LLC., 11405 EAST LOON CT.
FLORAL CITY, FL 34436.

ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT PLEASANT SHADE WAS/IS ALSO IN THE SAME SITUATION AS OAKLAND BY THE SAME OWNERS.

PLOT OWNERS, PLEASE START STEPPING UP AND GIVING US A HAND ON MAINTAINING YOUR PLOTS. HELP GIVE A LITTLE TRIM ON A NEIGHBOR THAT HAS NO LONGER FAMILY.
WE ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN MAINTENANCE.
THERE IS AND WILL NEVER BE A PERPETUAL CARE INVOLVED.

THE LAFB SARGENT'S ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS OTHER FANTASTIC ORGANIZATIONS HAVE STEPPED UP AND GONE WAY BEYOND THE CALL OF HELP THAN I COULD HAVE EVER PRAYED FOR.
NOW, AS PLOT OWNERS LET "US" NOT FALL BEHIND AND LET THEM AS WELL AS OURSELVES DOWN.

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT NONE OF US ARE ON A PAYROLL OR RECEIVE MONIES FOR THIS STRICTLY VOLUNTEER PROJECT.
IF YOUR PLOT GETS CUT ITS BY A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER.
SOME HAVE ADOPTED SPOTS. THAT'S A LUCKY THING FOR SOME.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CUT, FIND AN AFFORDABLE PERSON TO MOW. I'M SURE THERE ARE FOLKS THAT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A SUMMER JOB.
