Copy of Notification from U.S. Veterans Affairs confirming my interment in a national cemetery

June 17, 2025 Case ID: xxxxxx

Northglenn, CO 80260

Dear Scott ...:

We have reviewed your request and supporting documentation for a determination of eligibility for burial in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national cemetery in advance of need. We find that, as of the date of this letter, you are eligible for burial in a VA national cemetery.

Eligibility criteria for burial in a VA national cemetery are stated in section 2402 of Title 38 United States Code (U.S.C.), Persons eligible for interment in national cemeteries. This finding of pre-need burial eligibility does not reserve or guarantee a gravesite in a particular VA national cemetery. Burial benefits in a VA national cemetery include opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, and a government-furnished headstone or marker, at no cost to your family.

VA will save your pre-need claim form, supporting documentation, and this decision letter in a recallable system to expedite your burial arrangements at your time of need. We encourage you to retain this information along with your other important papers. We also encourage you to discuss your burial wishes and arrangements with your family members or authorized representatives. At your time of death, should your family or personal representative request burial in a VA national cemetery, VA will confirm this finding of pre-need eligibility based on the laws in effect at that time.

I hope this information is helpful in planning for your future burial needs. Thank you for your interest in our VA national cemeteries.

Sincerely Yours,

National Cemetery Scheduling Office Director

... but it's regarding the Common Core Education Program in the U.S. where there's a "law of triviality" phenomenon & Dunning-Kruger effect with laypeople about some of the exercises that the students will do. One was about spatial reasoning where there were simple illustrations of objects that are somewhat misshaped (the best I can explain it) and the students would need to pick a close match. At any rate, I know not to assume that educators are stupid and there may be some reason for the strange assignment. It also occurred to me that there may have been similar exercises in education throughout the past decades, but it was just something most people would forget.

I also realized that the math exercises that seem out of the ordinary are not "a new way to do some simple calculations", like everyone insists it's all about, but are meant to show the students how math works in its way where there are different ways to figure the same problem. A person can check their work and is what some people find so interesting about the field. (Refresh web browser to restart.)
