  "Opinion: Not sure how I feel giving a cemetery a five-star review just because of the nature of the thing itself. What I am giving five stars to is the still beauty this place exudes. I made a quick cut through because I was working in the area and I was headed from point a to point b. I don$0027t know if it was just the time of day but it took my breath away. What a peaceful place to lay a loved one who has passed on. It almost seems like a Greek ruin or something. I couldn$0027t believe that elevation change here it$0027s like in a area with really steep hills and the trees are mature I don$0027t know anything about the history of the place but driving by the veterans section, oh my thoughts kind of stood still in time and we$0027re replaced by a kind of reverie. I hope you all enjoy the pictures because there$0027s a real reason I$0027m writing this along with my hope that somebody else will find the same sense of peace there that I did. I really needed it at that time too. Bottom line: I think this place is imbued with magic or something I can$0027t describe it. I really wish it was closer to Southwest Missouri where I live. I would go light paint there and keep everybody company at night. Thanks for reading this"

  "Opinion: My dad was in active duty in the United States Navy in World War II, so after my dad (George Louis Marzeck, Sr.) died September 17, 2006, my mom (June Alice [Gass] Marzeck) died April 19, 2010 and my sister (Luanne [Marzeck] Lennie) died October 17, 2014, I had both of my parents$0027 ashes buried in the newer eastern section of Keokuk National Cemetery in December 2014. I last visited there on June 6, 2022."
