A Final Home

The Missouri Veterans Cemetery broke ground on November 7, 2008. This project in Pulaski County will help honor the sacrifice and dedication of those in our community who devoted their lives to service. The Veterans Cemetery is a way to provide a final resting place for the brave men and women in our state who chose to protect the ideals we all hold so dear.

This page is dedicated to the recent ground-breaking at the site for the future cemetery. Below, you will find additional information and interactive links having to do with the event.
