National Cemetery

A National Cemetery is a special burial ground in the United States designated for military veterans and their eligible family members. These cemeteries honor and commemorate the service and sacrifice of those who have served in the armed forces. They typically offer a respectful and serene environment, with grave markers, memorials, and often ceremonial services. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs manages these sites, providing burial benefits and maintaining the grounds to ensure they remain dignified places for remembrance. National Cemeteries symbolize national gratitude and respect for the contributions of veterans to the nation.
