In short, the veteran must have been honorably discharged. A more detailed list of those service men and women who may apply for, and receive veterans' burial benefits, with full military honors if they choose would include:

  • Military members on active duty or in the Selected Reserve
  • Former military members who served on active duty and departed under conditions other than dishonorable
  • Former military members who completed at least one term of enlistment or period of initial obligated service in the Selected Reserve and departed under conditions other than dishonorable
  • Former military members discharged from the Selected Reserve due to a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.

Why Clean the Monuments?

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the buildup of biological growth like lichen and moss, which can trap moisture and cause long-term structural damage to the stone. By maintaining these memorials, you ensure that the history and legacies of those interred remain legible and dignified for future generations.
