I mention this as I considered him to be a American hero, yet he requested no funeral or headstone to deter possible protesters. How our nation has changed...................
I believe he didn't want all of this in order to keep peace. There would have been all the groups that oppose nuclear war protesting at his funeral and probably constantly going to his grave and destroying it. Smart move on his part.
