The Bolivar Cemetery Association has recently partnered with “Remember Them Forever”, an organization whose mission is;
To honor all Texas Veterans for their service, sacrifices and accomplishments.
To preserve the history and stories of our Texas Veterans.
To educate the public on those stories.
The Texas Veterans Hall of Fame was founded in 2018 out of the efforts to preserve the history of the 1.8 million Texans that have served since the beginning of WWI. Texas is deep in military history with museums scattered all over the State. However, none of these organizations are exclusively dedicated to honoring Texas Military Veterans for their outstanding service, sacrifices and accomplishments on an individual basis. Now Texas has that venue with the Texas Veterans Hall of Fame.
All veteran gravesites in the Bolivar Cemetery have been identified and entered into their database, along with latitude and longitude points so that graves can easily be found. The Cemetery is currently trying to raise $2000 to mark all of the military graves. Each marker is 6” x 6”, that be placed close to the headstone. Each marker also has a slot to hold a small American flag. On the back of the marker, there is a plastic QR code that visitors can scan with their smartphone to read a short biography about that veteran. People can sponsor their relatives or just choose to sponsor a certain number of veterans. Organizations can also donate to this cause.
To sponsor, use this QR code. Each veteran marker is $12.00
If you would rather mail a check mail to: Bolivar Cemetery Association; 7236 FM 455 W., Sanger, TX 76266 and designate it for a veteran marker
**Every effort has been made to identify each person buried at Bolivar who has a military background. If we have missed someone please email: [email protected] with the information.
