U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch presented Lonergan’s nephew, Patrick Huntington, with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in Pvt. “There’s loyalty in the simple act of remembrance … especially during times like now, when there’s so much division in the country,” Lynch said. “It is probably the most beautiful military cemetery in the world,” he said, noting the grounds are meticulously cared for and local office workers frequent the spot. “Their first son gave his life for their adopted country,” Huntington said. There were nine children in the Lonergan family.
