    We rode through and it has to be the most well kept and beautiful cemetery we have ever seen in person.

    Stopped by to pay respects over Memorial Day Weekend, and loved how every grave had flag. The trees here are beautiful and interesting to see tombstones from Civil War to present.

    My dad is buried there. Served in the US Navy. The upkeep of the cemetery is impeccable
  • By MITZI NAPIER
    My Daddy is laid to rest here. He served the United States Marine Corps 30 years. He was in Korean War, Viet Nam, and WWII. He’s honored 2 Purple Hearts and a Gold Star. He lost to COVID 19 at 91 years of age on March 23 2020. Lewis who runs the CEMETERY was extremely helpful in coordinating all of DADDYS Military Honors service. There’s just something about this place that brings your heart peace and serenity. Thank you to all our VETERANS this special day in Honor of your sacrifices 🇺🇸✝️
