We have a request from fellow Veteran, Bill Davenport . . .
Brothers and Sisters, a small group from a Veterans Service Organization is in the process of identifying the concerns of Veterans and their relatives and friends regarding the current condition and future of the Cape May County Veterans Cemetery. I am anxious to hear from you about your concerns. They can range from anything about the cemetery, including the layout, grave markers, condition of grounds, the grave site locator, the chapel, and the process of being buried there. Your comments don’t need to be limited to these concerns, they are just some examples. Anything of concern to you is open for consideration. It will be much appreciated. Thank you.
