I rest assured my son and my friend are peaceful
I went here to visit my grandfather, whose grave I had never visited. This is a beautiful and serene site that is extremely well maintained. I had used the Veteran Affairs National Gravesite Locator so it only took a few minutes to find his grave. This cemetery was the site of the Port Hudson Battle in the Civil War and there are some nice markers telling the story.
They take very good care of the gravesites here and provide the vases and water for us to put fresh flowers on our loved ones graves. You can see the most awesome sight during Memorial Day weekend, USA flags adorn every plot. You can also put USA flags on your loved ones plot. A mapping system is available to help you find your loved one. A lot of history here and beautiful area for quiet meditation.
My mother is buried here. It is a beautiful and well maintained National Cemetery for our veterans.
