Los Angeles National Cemetery (Photos)

September 29, 2018.

I wanted to visit the Los Angeles National Cemetery after I demonstrated at the corner of Wilshire and Veteran Ave in West LA.

The Federal Building is a beautiful place to visit, and the National Cemetery is really inspiring.

I had to visit.

Here are the photos I took.



Blue Star Memorial.


Check out the Bob HopeVeterans Chapel. Those were good days.

Bob Hope was a funny, genteel man. He did great things for the armed forces.





Some of the gravestones provided incredible words and images.

The statements on the markers were quite moving, too.



Check out this moving scene:


This person was born during the Civil War, and lived nearly an entire century:


This lady lived to be 104 years old!


Incredible!


Here's a memorial to the Army of the Republic, specifically the Nevada and California regiments.




The Gettysburg Address:






The colors honoring the branches of the Armed Forces:





Here's a tribute to one often overlooked American conflict, The Spanish-American war:







This commemoration recognizes other overseas allies during World War II.

There is so much history which we need to honor, and yet so much of it slips through our hands.



This memorial is plain yet quite direct:


For the airforce:





One of the best photos I have taken of our National Symbol:



At this point, I visited the Mausoleum chapel to visit the remains of many war dead from World War II and soon after.

This hall of honor was constructed in 1944, during the Second World War:



The Memorial set maintained a set of uniforms of passers-by and visitors to take in:



Some flowers commemorated our war dead, too:




For a long time, I wanted to record and share this beautiful chapel with others.

Just enjoy!




This is a beautiful sight, too. Who knows who left these flowers for these men and women who gave their lives for our country, for the legacy of our civic and moral culture?



At this point, I was returning to the front of the National Cemetery:


WOW!

This veteran was born just before the Mexican-American War, and died after World War I:
