Letter from Adolph Von Haake to Theodore Roosevelt
Adolph Von Haake asks President Roosevelt to intervene to allow Von Haake and his wife to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Von Haake’s application was denied because he served as a Volunteer, rather than as a Regular officer. He argues that since Arlington was designated as a National Cemetery because of the Civil War, soldiers who fought in that war have a right to be buried there regardless of whether they were Volunteers or Regulars.
