Gloucester County has without a doubt one of the most beautiful Veteran’s Cemeteries in the country and one we can all be proud of. For 10 years Gloucester County veterans and volunteers have come together to raise funds to purchase and lay wreaths on the grave sites of veterans and family members buried at the Gloucester County Veterans Memorial Cemetery as a gesture of honor and remembrance. We continue the tradition again this year of honoring our veterans.
