Fort Leavenworth National Cemetary


As our nations heads into celebrating Independence Day tomorrow, I thought this was a good reminder of the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.  I hope all those celebrating our Independence Day have a safe and happy weekend.

In answer to a couple of questions, yes civilians are allowed on post and can roam freely.  Just have to sign in at the gate with id.  The main road was under construction on this recent visit so I entered on a different path.  It is extremely easy to get lost and is helpful to have a guide.

The scene here is inspirational. It reminds me of the scene at the cemeteries in Normandy.
