In December of 2008 we stopped at the Sacremento Valley VA National Cemetery in Dixon
to see what had changed since the ceremony
the previous June.
Dad's headstone was up (section 14, #1762); the Daughters of
the American Revolution had decorated all the headstones with Christmas wreaths.

Dad's headstone with the wreath moved away so you can see it better. The lighting is flat, so it's a little hard to see the inscription. |

Another view of Section 14, where Dad's headstone stands. There were a number of religious symbols on the stones denoting affiliation: the Cross, Star of David, Celtic Cross, Greek Orthodox Cross, Crescent Moon, and blank. |

Some distance away there was construction going on; it looks like the permanent center. |
