The United States Army didn’t like the job that Jack E. Lechner Jr. was doing when it came to running the sacred Arlington National Cemetery — so — they got rid of him earlier this month after they handed him a less than superb performance review.
According to an Army spokesperson, they “called into question his ability to serve successfully as a senior leader.”
More from the Washington Post:
Patrick Hallinan, executive director of the Army National Military Cemeteries program, will fill in temporarily until a new superintendent is found. The Army did not elaborate on why Lechner was removed one year after he was appointed to the position. Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
Arlington Cemetery is the nation’s premier military burial ground, and is the final resting place for Supreme Courts justices, service members from virtually every U.S. conflict and Presidents John F. Kennedy and William Howard Taft.
Did anyone notice if the grass happened to be little longer these past few months? Perhaps the hedges a tad overgrown? Maybe chinch bugs did Lechner in?
