Visited the grave of my friend’s father and witnessed a remarkable ceremony. The letters on the white crosses almost disappear in the brightness of the stone, so a soldier fills the indentations with sand from Omaha Beach to bring the name forward. It sent shivers down my spine. pic.twitter.com/e2G8KvvALt

Some of the letters engraved on gravestones tend to become indistinguishable when it is too bright and they blend together in the light. Despite this, there's actually a cool hack which could help bring out the engravements without having to paint on them. Jackie Speier tweets about what she saw as she and her friend visited the latter's father's grave.
