Veterans are encouraged to wear their uniforms. Pre-ceremony music begins at 9:30 a.m. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair. The ceremony will take place near Founders Hall, the chapel positioned at the northeast corner of the property. Parking is allowed within the cemetery grounds with entrance off Industrial Blvd. Parking is also allowed in neighboring shopping and office building parking lots.
