Burials and Memorials

Thanks everybody for joining. I similarly don't have much for opening comments. We’ll get into questions here quickly, but we do have two great guests with us today; Lisa Pozzebon, who is the Director of Cemetery Operations at the National Cemetery Administration and James LaPaglia the NCA Digital Services officer,

I’m honored to join all of you here today at the beautiful Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Memorial Day commemorations are an important moment for all of us to honor those who sacrificed their lives in service to our nation. Your presence here is testimony to your commitment to those fallen heroes—and to the forces that stand guard the world round every day.
