Today was lumber cutting day. We are constructing new crosses for Memorial Day 2024. We are committed to having enough crosses to recognize all our Veterans that are buried in our AOR. Post CMDR Brandy Olmstead is dusting off her skills and using those years of experience as a Seabee in the US Navy.

On this day in 1999 was the start of the Kosovo Campaign.
Thank you to our Veterans past and present that participated in this campaign.
