Sometimes Find A Grave makes me sad, to see some of our veterans with memorials that do not honor their service is a disservice to their life. Please make their memories live on in their memorials with correct information and make them as complete as possible

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) prefers the term "site" over "grave" to reflect a more respectful and dignified approach to the final resting places of veterans. This choice of words is intentional and serves several purposes.

Emphasis on Respect

• Honoring Service: The term "site" conveys a sense of reverence for the sacrifices made by veterans.
• Dignified Treatment: Using "site" emphasizes the care and respect afforded to veterans' memorialization.

Commitment to Memorialization

• Reflects Values: The terminology aligns with the VA's commitment to honoring the memory of those who served.
• Cultural Sensitivity: It acknowledges the importance of how veterans are remembered and the significance of their final resting places.

By using "site," the VA aims to foster a respectful environment that honors the legacy of veterans and their contributions to the nation.

These hollowed grounds are shrines, not graves, gravesites, niches, noches, nices, gaves. Using terms other than site, devalues our veteran's service and desecrates their final resting place and is used by those who disrespect our veterans and their families. Please use site for plot locations.

Many veterans have given their lives for our country, those who use this site to show their hatred to veterans and their families. especially by using confusing, incorrect or disrespectful grave locations are disrespecting their service.

Grave in a National Cemetery = hole in the ground

Site in a National Cemetery = hallowed ground
