Historic Preservation - Information about Civil War Cemeteries All fifty-nine cemeteries, with the exception of Rock Island National Cemetery in Rock Island, Illinois, are enclosed with a perimeter wall or fence, as authorized by the 1862 legislation. While it was mandated that every national cemetery have a lodge, a stone or iron fence, and headstones, the actual layout of the cemetery, for the most part, was left to the discretion of the cemetery superintendent who was named during the construction of these features. The tradition of nationalism in Virginia was strong and the state hesitated to join the seceding states, but the attack on Fort Sumter and Lincoln's proclamation calling for 75,000 troops, together with geographical necessity, finally drew her into the Confederacy. www.va.gov /facmgt/historic/civilwar.asp

LITTLE SPACE FOR THOSE WHO GAVE SO MUCH / National cemeteries for veterans are all full The San Francisco National Cemetery at the Presidio is full, too, with 35,000 buried there. National graveyards are filling up across the country, as increasing numbers of veterans have claimed the final honor bestowed upon them -- and their wives and minor children: a grave site, a marker, a presidential certificate, military honors and perpetual care. Between 1973 and 2001, the number of interments at national cemeteries climbed from 36,400 per year to 84,800 per year -- a number that is expected to keep climbing, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, until it peaks at 107,000 per year in 2008. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/05/26/MN164290.DTL&type=printable

POST 319 NATIONAL CEMETERY Ernie Pyle, veteran of World War I, famed World War II correspondent, at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu, along with all 848 unknowns from the Korean War (except one at Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery). The Department of the Interior administers 14 others and the Army administers two (including Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.).

Early Growth of the National Cemetery System Perhaps it should be noted in passing that the burial ground he laid out in 1862 on the battlefield of Mill Springs, was created a national cemetery during the same year, being among the first to acquire this status under the Act of July 17, 1862. This cemetery was established "in commemoration of the Battles of Chattanooga, November 23-27, 1863." According to Chaplain T. Van Horn, who acted as superintendent during the formative period of development, General Thomas selected the site during the brilliant assault of his troops, which carried Missionary Ridge and brought the campaign to a victorious end. Therefore, while practically all national cemeteries of the war period are considered to have been established under the Act of July 17, 1862, a great many were actually created in disregard of that statute. www.qmfound.com /early_growth_of_the_national_cemetery_system.htm

ICFA Historically, a new national cemetery requires between four to five years to open after funding has been proposed; therefore, cemeteries currently proposed would not become operational until the number of veterans’ deaths are in decline. For fiscal year 2002, the VA is projected to spend $51.5 billion, of which the National Cemetery Administration budget accounts for approximately $120 million, or less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the VA budget. According to VA statistics, approximately 100,000 veterans and their eligible independents are interred each year in 120 national cemeteries and the 40 VA-funded state cemeteries, or approximately 3 to 4 percent of the annual deaths in the United States. www.icfa.org /washrpt3a.02.htm

The Global Encyclopedia : Hotels : Travel During the 19th century, many new states were added to the original thirteen as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions.

Two of the major traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the American Civil War ( 1861 - 65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. united-states.asinah.net /american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/b/ba/battle_...

The Barry Report on National Cemeteries It is therefore not surprising that many names are not found in the VA's national cemetery lists even though the soldier was known to have been buried in a particular cemetery. The graves in the national cemeteries were not permanently marked until 1873 when the government provided headstones. In 1871 Col. Mack, the inspector of National Cemeteries reported a revised total of the burial of 305, 492 Union soldiers. vermontcivilwar.org /barry/preface.shtml

National Cemeteries For over 125 years, Arlington National Cemetery has served as the principal national shrine and final resting place where public honor and recognition are accorded to the men and women who have served in the military, and as the site of important non-funeral national ceremonies.

The Soldiers and Airmen's Home National Cemetery, located in the Nation's capital, also provides a final resting place to honor those with military service. www.hqda.army.mil /asacw/cemetary.htm
