2BobTannerOdd pic for a Veterans Day salute
Local TV station covered a Veterans Day salute at a cemetery which has various Veterans graves in it. The photo they used for the story struck me as rather “odd”. What do you think?

That’s my point. A Revolutionary War era volunteer Color Guard, with flag bearers and at least one rifleman (armed with a flintlock rifle/musket), are standing in front of a sign which clearly show a NO FIREARMS/WEAPONS AUTHORIZED logo. The cemetery is the historic Cave Hill at the top of Broadway; many graves of Union dead from Civil War are buried there.

mikeyspizzaThe photographer probably got many different still shots and someone at the fucked up news channel choose this one.

The Rock Island (IL) National Cemetery is inside the gates of the Rock island Arsenal, a no guns allowed Army post. At the cemetery entrance is a sign like in the OP.

I've seen these signs at several local cemeteries. It never made much sense to me.

KevboI suspect the person that chose this photo paid not one iota of attention to the sign in the background

Jimbo54Actually, the sign looks like it was photoshopped into the photo to me.
