Calif. Cemetery Apologizes for Switching Headstones

POMONA, Calif. -- Officials are apologizing to a Pomona woman for erecting other people's headstone above her parents' grave at the Riverside National Cemetery.

On Nov. 26, Gail Teach went to the cemetery, as she does every year, to sit beside her parents' grave and quietly grieve, according to the Los Angeles Times. She brought a stuffed reindeer for her mom, who would have been 81, and a small pumpkin and an American flag for her dad, a World War II veteran.

But when she reached the spot, the names on the headstone were not those of her parents.
