VETERANS
While every person buried in a cemetery is significant, representing a life lived, this page recognizes the service and sacrifice of those veterans buried and memorialized within the city cemeteries.
​
As you read the information for each veteran, please take it as an opportunity to reflect, enjoy, and absorb the contributions of servicemembers past.
​
While every effort has been made to identify service members and their records correctly, errors occur. Please send any record additions or corrections directly to us at feedback@vrcemeteryfriends.org. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
