Memorial Day
0May 26, 2014 by elhseven
I’m paying homage, in particular, to all of the African American gravestones of former soldiers who are buried in various graveyards along Highway 71. There is a website designed & maintained by the U.S. Veteran Affairs office to help individuals locate graves of veterans, http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/index.html. Many of the individuals below predate the criteria for listing on the website.
