Wishing we the public could easily access the Barrancas National Cemetery aboard NAS Pensacola.
The hassle of gaining a day pass is too much for some to go through in order to get to pay their respects to our Honored Dead on Hallowed Ground.
It was once a family event to go view the Wreaths Across America and the Flags IN at the grave sites. Now feel as if we’re near banned from there.
Thank you William for a great write up. It is wonderful to see so many events being held for our veterans. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and thanks to our veterans for all they have given and done for us and are doing for us.
