    We travel in our RV and try to visit National Cemeteries wherever we visit. This is a small one , but worth the visit to pay respects.

    This cemetery is well maintained. The grounds are kept mowed and the headstones are in good condition considering how old some of them are.

    Have placed wreaths on graves during wreaths across America. A very nice ceremony is done on this day. Grounds are kept emaculate.

    My Mother is buried here. She loved Wilmington and I believe she would been thrilled to have known this is where she would be. The family is happy that she rests here. It is beautiful and very well maintained. It is filled with many of America's Defenders of Freedom. God Bless America.
