Sean greeted my family upon arrival to the cemetery. He was professional, respectful, and kind. The committal service was the same. We were not sure how we felt about burial in a national cemetery, but quickly we were SO glad my grandfather was not anywhere else. Thank you to the servicemen and to Sean and the burial team for working hard in the cold and snow and not rushing us.

My wife and I are both Air Force veterans in our late 70's. We would like to be buried next to each other. Is it possible to reserve grave sites in advance so that we will be together.

Nick Hetzer | Nov 5, 2018

www.cem.va.gov then use the “nationwide gravesite locator”. You can search any National Cemetery and even print the map from home. But to save you the trouble they are in section 39, site 472. When you come in the gate off of west third street, make a left at the first left in the cemetery. Follow it to the stop sign and proceed straight through. Section 39 is on the left in the traffic circle in front of you. The number will be on the back of the headstone.

Can a military spouse be buried at dayton national cemetery

Cathy Barnes | Nov 5, 2018
Nick Hetzer | Nov 5, 2018

There is some incorrect information here. In order for a spouse to be eligible, the Veteran must be eligible. Basic eligibility requirements are: to have served on active duty, be honorably discharged, never committed a capital crime or have been convicted of a life sentence for a sex crime. Reservists / National Guard are eligible if they deployed, were called up by executive order or retired. As long as the spouse is clear on the crimes he or she may be interred at any National Cemetery with or WITHOUT the Veteran. The Veteran does not need to be interred there in order for a spouse to be. The Vet’s name will be on the stone/marker/niche cover to recognize their service whether they are there or not. The format is just a little different.

I was there for the Memorial Day service - very impressive and a lovely cemetery. I was reading the markers around the monument space and I was wondering if what seemed to be poems was parts of a longer poem and if so what is it?

Donna Mertz | Nov 5, 2018
Teresa K (nitroustech) | Nov 5, 2018

If you remember a line from one of the poems, you could google the line in quotes. Great question!

Why is it that everything in blocked off and you expect handicap to walk in 90 degree temps with bad knees back and heart problems doesn't seem fair.
