OVERBEARING JETS

On a recent visit to my hometown of Norfolk, I attended a funeral at Forest Lawn Park for a friend. The services were graveside, but during the service, a Navy jet flew over the cemetery three times, so low that the reverend had to stop the ceremony.

I know the Navy means a lot to the economy of Hampton Roads, but it really is sad that our government would have ``war games'' over a cemetery.
