Boy this picture really bugs me. I can't believe you are actually squatting ON his grave. Common decency and respect dictates that you stand OUTSIDE the marker, not squat right on top of it. This is the ONLY picture I can find on the Internet of someone stupid and disrespectful enough to actually cross the line and violate this sacred space...all for the sake of a picture. Brother Buzz, you wouldn't want someone standing on your parent's grave sites; neither would the Steinbecks or the Hamiltons.
