Remember
a veteran with a memorial engraving
Remember a veteran - living or deceased - by having the individual's name engraved on the wall or a paver brick of the new Veterans Memorial at ResurrectionCemetery, Lenexa, KS. The new memorial will be dedicated on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. The memorial includes monuments and flags representing the five branches of the United States Armed Forces - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. The monuments feature etched granite replicas of each service's emblem. Connecting the five monuments are granite walls on which veterans' names will be engraved for a donation. Other memorial giving opportunities include the flagpoles, granite monuments and benches. The cemetery has also dedicated a section adjacent to the memorial with 352 spaces for burial of veterans and their spouses. Burial space in this section is available at no charge to veterans. The veteran is responsible for expenses associated with opening and closing the gravesite, the vault and a setting fee for the marker; the U.S. government furnishes the grave marker. For additional fees, the veteran's spouse can acquire adjoining space and cover expenses associated with the opening, closing, vault and marker. For
