This makes no sense. Maybe Sec. Whitlock could provide some background on this.

Are the Veteran's cemeteries getting too full? What is the bureaucratese at work here? Does the Dakota Scout call anything not written by a journalist as "Viewpoint?" This seems to be a state press release issued as a Viewpoint. Why? Maybe it's my lack of military service family members, but I don't understand this classification at all.

Each month, Sec. Whitlock writes a column. We don’t always run them. This was his latest. And it seemed like useful information for military families.

Thank-you! That answers my third and fourth questions but not my first and second.
