Thinking About Levin Newcomb’s Sacrifice at Christ Episcopal Church’s Cemetery in Cambridge by Rick Stevens
As Memorial Day approaches, I wish each of you a pleasant and safe holiday weekend. Recently, I attended a family wedding on Maryland’s eastern shore, staying overnight in the small village of Cambridge. To pass the time between nuptial obligations, I decided to walk around the town.

My innate curiosity led me through the iron gates to stroll among the gravestones. I discovered that four former Maryland Governors are buried there, along with generations of local parish families. Time and weather have rendered many markers nearly illegible, but one stone slab, adorned with an American flag, caught my eye.
