Thank you Sir, for the sentiment. I appreciate it and commend you.
I just want to clarify that any Veteran with an Honorable Discharge can be buried in any Federal Veterans Cemetery. The Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) National Cemetery Administration maintains 156 national cemeteries in 42 states and Puerto Rico. At no cost to the Veterans Family. There are also many State and County Cemeteries.
To those that "Gave All" I will refer to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Apply for and manage the VA benefits and services you’ve earned as a Veteran, Servicemember, or family member—like health care, disability, education, and more.
