7 years ago I have placed a small part of my fathers ashes per his request in the Multnomah Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Portland Oregon, but most are spread in a forest per his request near a lake with the wildlife he so loved and felt closer to than people after the Vietnam War, there is no way for me to put this in the memorial registers for him to put the location direction and the GPS coordinates, there are thousands of Veterans that have had their ashes spread and just a plack is placed in a memorial cemetery, the GPS and directions to the actually ashes and or remains should be in the data base at the cemetery for those that visit and want to go to the actual location of the ashes or remains. Please make this additional information space available in all cemetery databases
Several years ago, under the auspices of my local VFW post, I catalogued most of the veterans (Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, etc.) buried in one of my local cemeteries. I still have that information available including a crude map of the grave site locations tied to each name, and would like to contribute that information to this project if you would have any use for it. Please contact me via Github if you are interested and/or need further information.
