Markers of sacrifice
Like American cemeteries in all 50 states, Anacortes cemeteries show evidence of the sacrifice of military service by those buried there. Some died in service, others lived beyond those experiences. Reflected here are Grand View Cemetery grave markers of local men who served in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. On Memorial Day 2019 we extend our gratitude to all of our loved ones who served and have since passed on.
