Hawaii State Veteran’s Cemetary

My dad passed away almost three years ago now. It was a pretty traumatic and devastating event in the life of our family, especially since he passed at home right before dinner on mom’s birthday.
Since dad had served in the Air Force, it was appropriate that the Hawaii State Veteran’s Cemetary is his final resting place on earth. A burial plot in beautiful Kaneohe, a headstone, 21 gun salute, taps, and an American flag are small but truly valuable tokens of appreciation for service to our country. Our family was grateful to the staff for their courtesy, professionalism, and tactfulness at that difficult time. They were helpful in our selection of vases, amount of vases, wording on the marker, and other details that we may have overlooked.
To this day, I still remember that I felt confident that the staff would take care of everything because we had so many other things to worry about. They reassured us that we could visit as often as we liked and that we could call any time with our questions and concerns.
Every time I visit dad, I feel comforted in knowing he is in a better place — both in body and in spirit. He has a great view with a cool breeze in a peaceful and safe atmosphere, surrounded by fellow Veterans.
