One of three state veterans cemeteries in NC, Sandhills is not far from Fort Bragg and Pope Airfield. It’s hard to miss. It’s big, open, flat and has the precision look and feel of all military cemeteries. Sandhills opened shortly before the main cemetery at Fort Bragg closed. It looks newer despite being open for that long; it’s starkness and monochromaticity broken only by the bright flower bouquets. The markers are all flat on the ground, making it easier for maintenance, but harder to visually understand the magnitude of what you’re seeing. Still, despite being near two main roads, it’s quiet and easy to navigate.
