Leavenworth National Cemetery


A shot of the cemetery before the Boy Scouts put a flag at every tombstone. 

After.....

Every one of the 36,000+ graves is now marked with a flag. Some buried here include six Medal of Honor recipients and 12 Native Americans. The first person was buried here in 1886 and this cemetery is listed in the Natuonal Register of Historic Places. It was a fantastic way to spend a rainy Saturday morning!
