Evergreen Washelli is proud to hold the remains of several Medal of Honor Recipients. Please join us today in remembering them. We invite you to visit their graves, read their stories and see an image of the medals received. To assist in finding their location we’ve roped off the graves. Special markers have been placed at the grave, telling their story.
The public is encouraged to attend as we honor the military of the United States of America. Please join us in expressing our gratitude for those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding our liberty and for preserving our peace. We welcome family and friends of those who have served and continue to serve.
