Army Air Corps 2nd Lt. Joseph L. Burke finally received the honorable burial he earned, more than 80 years after his death aboard a World War II “hell ship.”
Last week, the Omaha National Cemetery interred the remains of 16 World War II soldiers.
“VLM for Living Veterans” allows Veterans to share their photos, autobiographies, military and life milestone achievements today.
With help from VBA and NCA, an administrative correction honored a WWII soldier's service and Jewish identity.
Carry The Load, an organization dedicated to remembering the fallen, will visit 34 VA National Cemeteries traveling 20,000 miles along five separate routes covering all continental 48 states known as the National Relay for Memorial May 2024.
As part of the Veterans Legacy Program, NCA is awarding grants for a maximum of $400,000 per awardee to qualifying educational institutions and non-profit organizations (501c3).
The National Cemetery Administration has added nearly 5 million pages of Veterans interred in private and other non-VA cemeteries who received a NCA-provided headstone, marker or medallion, bringing the VLM total to nearly 10 million Veteran pages.
In time for Memorial Day weekend this year, NCA has expanded the Veterans Legacy Memorial platform to include 27 Department of Defense-managed cemeteries, including Arlington National Cemetery.
VLM's interactive features allow people to remember those who served by posting tributes and comments, uploading images and sharing a Veteran’s military service timeline, achievements, biographical information, historical documents and more.
VA National Cemeteries and Carry the Load will hold a National Day of Service on Sep. 9 marking the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The re-launch of the Veterans Legacy Memorial before Memorial Day weekend saw more than 4,000 tributes, images, biographies, milestones, and documents posted to Veterans' pages.
The Veterans Legacy Memorial, our nation’s first digital platform dedicated entirely to more than 3.7 million Veterans interred in VA’s national cemeteries, provides a memorial page dedicated to preserving their legacy.
