Washington (CNN) — Mike McLaughlin knew he buried his father, a veteran of World War I, World War II and the Korean War, at Arlington National Cemetery.

So when he opened the newspaper recently and saw his father’s tombstone sunk in the bottom of a shallow, muddy stream, he was stunned.

“At this point, I have somewhere between zero and less than zero confidence in the cemetery’s management,” said McLaughlin.

As many as 6,600 graves at Arlington Cemetery, the historic and hallowed burial place for fallen U.S. soldiers, may be “unmarked, improperly marked or mislabeled,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, said Thursday.
