Other Information
The cemetery is very rundown. Erosion is a problem in various areas
of the cemetery and there are tire tracks running through the place,
over very many graves. Looked more like a off roading place than a final
resting place. Very, very sad to see.
Support
VA? My father, who was a veteran of Vietnam, was buried there about
15 years ago, without my knowledge. It took the county 3 months to
notify us and by the time they did, he was of course, already buried. We
haven't been ready to go and see the grave until recently and are very
concerned with the condition.
