Leaving on a Jet Plane don't know when I'll be back again.

Ms. Stalker I will see you at Georgia National Cemetery.

The guidelines state that the rank should be listed as a prefix in one of two conditions:

1. They were killed in action
2. They retired from active duty

If they don't meet either of those, they should just be tagged as "VETERAN."

If military information (including rank) is on the headstone, that can be included in the "inscription."

Yes, a person who honorably retires at the rank of Major retains the right to use the title "Major" as a professional and social courtesy. They are still considered a member of the armed forces, albeit in a retired status. 

Per Find a Grave when you add info to the bio section

You may have added sensitive information to this bio. We encourage you to not include information such as tax, social security, other identification numbers, or information about living people without their consent.

Per Find a Grave

Burial Details Unknown: Find a Grave's purpose is to catalog and make available final disposition information. If burial information is unknown for an individual, Find a Grave is probably not the right place for their information.

We expect members to do the best they can to find final disposition information and that if an unknown burial is added, that it is uncommon. If a duplicate is created with the correct location, the correctly located memorial will be preferred over the burial unknown memorial and they will be merged together.

Please STOP making DUPLICATE MEMORIALS

What are Approve/Decline notices?

We might Approve, Approve with Changes, or Decline the reported duplicate memorial. A reason is sent when we Approve with Changes or Decline.

We may change the order of the merge if there are changes in the memorial's edit history, i.e. the name was significantly changed or the memorial was moved into the cemetery where a correct memorial already existed.

Once the merge is complete, you may want to check the memorial and edit it or suggest edits for any necessary changes.
