 WASHINGTON — The superintendent of Arlington National Cemetery for the past 19 years is retiring.

John C. Metzler Jr. has worked for the government for 42 years and says his last day will be July 2.

The 62-year-old’s father was also superintendent at the cemetery outside the nation’s capital.

He said the high point of his career was expanding the cemetery for veterans and their families so it could continue to take new burials until 2060.
