Who are the Guardians of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery?
The United States of America has always honored our men and women that have made the decision to serve the United States in peace time and during conflicts. Approximately 10% of our citizens have given their time and many their lives, to keep America free.
There are only three national cemetery’s in all of the Continental United States that provides honors to our veterans. Arlington VA is the most recognized. Washington Crossing National Cemetery is one of the three. We exist to for our veterans and provide their final honors.
The Guardians of the National Cemetery are not a part of the Veterans Administration or are we a part of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery.
To ensure these men and women are never forgotten, a group of men and women from this area volunteer their time to honor our veterans as they embark on their final mission.
The Guardians of the National Cemetery is a locally-based volunteer organization. Our sole mission is to serve as official support committee for the Washington Crossing National Cemetery, so designated by the Veterans Administration.
“We exist exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in order to advocate for, preserve and support the Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Bucks County on behalf of the veterans of the Armed Services of the United States of America.” – Robert E. Craven President
All Veterans are deserving of Honors as they go on their final mission. This include those without family members to witness these honors or to leave their flag. This is referred to as Unaccompanied and all are welcome to attend.
