A retired career soldier and western military historian, I have been a genealogist for over 40 years. I was an original member of the Yellowstone County (Montana) Veterans Cemetery governing board. Yellowstone County Veterans Cemetery was the forerunner of present Yellowstone National Cemetery in Laurel, Montana.

I live a short distance from the Yellowstone National Cemetery; photographing it has become a regular endeavor of mine. I ask contributors please don't create a record for burial at Yellowstone National Cemetery until the Dept of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration, national gravesite locator confirms the deceased's interment.

I am happy to transfer memorial to family members.
