In honor of National Purple Heart Day on Friday, August 7th, 2026, and to honor our combat wounded, we have lit our front gates up in purple light all week.

This is not only to honor these warriors but also to remind the public that the price of freedom is not free; it is earned in blood and sacrifice.

We thank them now and every day.

In honor of Independence Day and, in particular, for the 250th anniversary of our independence, our cemetery's front gates are lit up red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸

These patriotic lights are meant to honor all citizens, especially our Veterans and their families, without whom we would not have the freedom that we enjoy today.
