My great uncle, Herbert Reynerson, is buried there. He was KIA on March 9, 1945. The Trump Administration's cruel and stupid attempt to deny the sacrifice and heroism of Black soldiers—in a segregated army, no less—is an outrage.

Staff Sgt. Herbert Reynerson, my great uncle, was also a warrior. He was killed on Mar. 9, 1945 while leading a squad from the 134th Inf. Regiment against a German position. My grandfather, who also served in the War, told me that his brother was kind, loving, and humble. Bronze Star & Purple Heart.

Ivan Vasil'evich Popov (1867–1938), a professor of patristic studies at the Moscow Clerical Academy, was murdered by Stalin's violent regime. Popov's work helped to reintroduce the idea of deification (обожение) to Russian Orthodox thought and he wrote a major study about Augustine. Вечная память!
