Due to the ongoing pandemonium, and Joe's choice of the National Veterans Cemetery for his final resting place, the interment ceremony will be greatly restricted, both in number of attendees as well as the time alloted.
We are working to create a plan to allow for a celebration of Joe's life in conjunction with this ceremony. Please check in with Joe's memorial website starting Monday, Oct 12, 2020, for more event details and the "in lieu of flowers" plans we are working on.

The National Veterans Cemetery is a Veterans Administration property and thus governed by their rules and regulations. To honor Joe's US Naval service during the Korean War, we ask that you respect the sanctity of the National Veterans Cemetery as well as the other service members being laid to rest right before and after Joe.
