Honoring your Veteran's grave this holiday season

2020-12-11T15:48:18-05:00

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people visit the graves of their loved-ones interred at VA National Cemeteries. These special trips often occur around the holidays, but due to COVID-19 safety concerns many are unable to make the trip this year.

But just because you can’t be there in person doesn’t mean your Veteran is forgotten.

“In the military we often say ‘No one is left behind,’ and at the National Cemetery Administration we have a saying that ‘No Veteran ever dies’ as long as we honor their legacy,” said Danny Devine, executive director of the National Cemetery Administration’s Office of Engagement and Memorial Innovations.

There are still ways to honor your Veteran despite not being able to travel.

Find someone local to visit your loved one’s grave. Post in or search the comments below to find Veteran supporters who are local and can visit your Veteran without major travel.

• If you are looking for someone to visit your Veteran type LOOKING and the cemetery such as - LOOKING Florida National Cemetery.
- Consider sharing some details about your Veteran with a volunteer visitor so they can honor his or her service.

• If you are offering to visit a grave type VISITING and the cemetery such as – VISITING Florida National Cemetery.
- Consider taking a picture and sending it to the Veteran family member or loved one who requested the visit.

Not sure where your Veteran is buried or interred? Use NCA’s Nationwide Gravesite Locator at: https://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/

If you can’t visit or can’t find someone to visit your Veteran this year, consider using the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM) online platform. VLM extends memorialization of the 3.7 million Veterans interred in those cemeteries to this digital memorial space by providing a VLM profile page for each Veteran. Launched in 2019 with Veteran service and cemetery information, VLM now allows family, friends and others to post tributes to a Veteran’s page and to share Veteran pages using email, Facebook and Twitter. Visit http://www.va.gov/remember to get started.

VA operates 152 national cemeteries and 34 soldiers' lots and monument sites in 42 states and Puerto Rico. More than 4 million Americans, including Veterans of every war and conflict, are buried in VA's national cemeteries. VA also provides funding to establish, expand, improve and maintain 117 Veterans cemeteries in 48 states and territories including tribal trust lands, Guam, and Saipan. For Veterans not buried in a VA national cemetery, VA provides headstones, markers or medallions to commemorate their service. In 2017, VA honored more than 361,892 Veterans and their loved ones with memorial benefits in national, state, tribal and private cemeteries. Learn more at: https://www.cem.va.gov/

I had a buddy who was haunted that he lost soldiers and asked me what I could to help him. I told him I never thought of this endeavor and to let me sleep on it, and I would answer tomorrow. The following day I told him to hold a private, small, intimate, somber ceremony for them. To ask their maker to accept them into a better place. He went to the cemetery with their tags and spoke to each of them. He looked up and asked their maker to accept them. This tremendously reduced his burden. Another veteran asked me for the same help and gave him the same advice. He was able to release his guilt and sadness as well. He wrote letters to them.

We have 3,000 soldiers buried in a Netherlands cemetery. Their sacrifices have been institutionalized. It is part of the country's DNA now and is a national event to recognize our soldiers who died trying to liberate the Netherlands. Every single grave has been adopted by a Dutch family for flowers and ceremonies. They are now sons of the US and the Netherlands. There is a long waiting list to adopt the graves. For this I have immense gratitude for the Dutch because they love our boys. Much deeper than my words.

Every year Wreaths Across America pay tribute to our fallen comrades. It is a beautiful gesture and if you can volunteer to place Wreaths believe me you won't regret it. My company raised over $27K to put wreaths in Arlington but we also redirected funds to Cold Harbor Cemetery in Mechanicsville Virginia to ensure that all 937 graves received a wreath. I'll be out there to help place wreaths and thank each fallen vet for their service. I promise you a tear will come to your eye. We have the Boy scout, girl scouts, Civil air patrol, VFW and the American Legion to assist in placing wreathes.

for more information go to WWA.org Merry Christmas to all.

I never got to visit my grandfathers gravesite at the v.a., even though I promised myself years ago that I would. Without him, I doubt I would have turned out to be a decent person, regardless of my own military experiences and problems throughout the years. I was named after him, took care of him as he died of cancer, he taught me at a young age how to be mechanically inclined, and I later joined the military partly because of him.

Why does it have to be a national cemetery? I live in Kansas, and my Dad is buried in a "civilian" cemetery in Michigan. Obviously, with this covid-19, we are unable to travel up there. Just because he isn't buried in a "National Cemetery", he doesn't deserve to have someone visit his grave? Then what good is the VA in this matter?

LOOKING- Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery St. Louis, MO. My Grandpa and Grandma are both buried there. This year has been particularly rough for my mom due to a heart attack in May, coding twice during the incident. She fought back, having three stents and a defibrillator put in. But each doctors visit seems to follow up with more bad news than good. I lost my grandpa early, but it was only three years ago on the day following Christmas that my grandma went in the hospital and left only to be next to grandpa again. If anyone nearby wouldn’t mind checking up on them for me now and maybe every so often, I’d appreciate it.

Hello,
20 or so years ago I adopted a grave. I was wounded on August 19th 1968, on August 21st a fellow in my Battalion was KIA whom I didn't know. I read about it and found out he was in a Catholic Cemetery not far from me. One day I drove over and found his grave and saw that he was with his Mother and Dad. From then on I have left a wreath for Christmas and a flag on Memorial Day. I wish others would do the same for Vets not in Military Cemetery's.
Regards
Wayne Grindstaff

It is truly amazing what the ABMC does for our Fallen Hero's, in foreign lands! In Europe there are several pristine American Cemeteries that shelter our Fallen Hero's from WW1 and WW11. These cemeteries are flawlessly taken care of and are a true testament of the mission of the ABMC. Local communities in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg all have waiting lists to be a caretaker of their local cemeteries! Even the children, at an early age are taught of the tremendous sacrifice The American Soldiers have paid for their freedom! It is really inspiring and I feel a deep sense of gratitude to those that still keep these Brave American Soldiers history alive! American Battlefield Monuments Commission is to be commended for their efforts honoring our Brave American Fallen Hero's! War Dead. They were initiated in the 1920's following WW1. Many thousands of American War Dead are buried in Europe, Hawaii, etc! My thanks to the European countries that participate in honoring our Fallen Hero's!!

I love this because I am an Army Brat, AF Vet and Army Wife, so we move a lot. There is no telling where our kids will be in reference to where I am buried. It comforts me to think someone out there would be willing to do this on my behalf so they can stay connected.

I would be honored to place wreaths at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Agawam, MA or place something on the grave of a soldier if their family cannot make it and requests a visit to their loved one's grave.

I live a couple of blocks from the US cemetery in Manila Philippines. I am willing to take photos and email them, if it would be of benefit to someone.

I'd sure like a picture of my dad's grave. His name is Ingvald Moen and he is buried at the Ft. Snelling National Cemetery, section c-26 site 14530, in Minneapolis, MN. I've never been there other that at his funeral. He was a POW of WWII at Luxembourg. His was Stalag 9-B.
I live nearby the Fort Smith National Cemetery in Fort Smith, AR and could respond in kind to those seeking info on their loved ones.

My Uncle was in the marines as a young adult and he told me a story once. In high school his father told him that he needed to focus on his academics or he'd be digging holes for a living. He decided that he wanted to get out of his family life and join the military. Fast-forward a few years, It's 1990 and he's making a foxhole in Kuwait, looks up at his buddies and realized there he was, digging a hole for a living.

It's been almost a decade since he died, but I still try to get to the Arlington cemetery whenever I can. Don't think I would have joined the military without the memory of him.

I can only imagine the spirits in the Ardennes Forest and the mountains and hills of Italy. In the cold sands of Normandy. There are spirits in the wadis in North Africa and perhaps near date trees where shamals darken the sky with dust and sand. There are spirits in the dark cold blue of the Atlantic Ocean. There are spirits in the ground in Tarawa and sands hot sands of Iow Jima. There are spirits in the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea. There are spirits in the steamy jungles of Vietnam and the cold craggy mountains of Korea.

Can I say, "Come here you. Come here you to home." Will that beckon them to return home where they belong. I like to think so.

I sponsored Wreaths across America. I bought wreaths for each of my grandchildren and took them with me for the wreath laying on the tombstones at the Amelia Virginia Veterans cemetery. I instructed them to read the name out loud of the person interred there and to say a prayer for that persons loved ones before placing the wreath. They enjoyed the ceremony.

It's so important to honor our veterans and their service, especially during the holiday season. One way to do that is by visiting and decorating their graves with wreaths and flowers. Another way is by choosing a beautiful and lasting memorial, like a [headstone bench](https://vancouvergranite.com/monuments/bench-monuments/) from Vancouver Granite. These benches are not only a stunning tribute, but also a practical and functional addition to any cemetery or memorial site. They provide a comfortable place to sit and reflect on the memories of your loved ones. Let's make sure our veterans are always remembered and celebrated.
