Leavenworth National Cemetery, Leavenworth Kansas

If you have never been to a National Cemetery to honor our nations Dead, then you should definitely make this one of your life missions.  There is a beautiful national military cemetery located at Leavenworth  Kansas right behind the VA Hospital, and there is also a very large cemetery located at Ft. Leavenworth Kansas right up the road.

Our national cemeteries are filled with servicemen and women from wars throughout our nations History.  My family have had members serve in every major conflict since the Revolutionary War here in the United States.

I was here visiting the grave of 1st Sgt Elisha Dixon, a husband to Lydia Nicholas and a brother in law to my great great grandfather.

While I was there I also photographed the tombstones around #ElishaDixon
