| Barack to visit grandfather’s grave at a Hawaii military cemetery. |

 This will make for a fascinating political and cultural moment: To underline his own family's military pedigree, Obama plans a trip in coming weeks to the Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii, where his grandfather, who served in World War II, is buried. P.S. I hadn't known Obama's great-grandfather was named Ralph Waldo Emerson (Dunham). That seems fitting, although apparently Mr. Dunham didn't much care for the name. --Michael Crowley http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_stump/archive/2008/05/21/obama-s-wwii-connection.aspx |
