This weeks I have traveled to the Quantico National Cemetery in Quantico, Virginia. Here we find the grave of a man who played a significant role in what President Gerald Ford once called “out long national nightmare,” that we know today as Watergate. Today, we are visiting the final resting place of Charles Colson, who held the position of Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon. Charles Colson, along with H. R. Halderman and John Ehrlichman were President Nixon’s most trusted advisors. All three of these men played a significant role during Watergate. Colson was eventually convicted of obstruction of Justice for his role in the Watergate Coverup and served 7-months in Federal Prison.
