"A Sacred Trust: The Story of the National Cemetery Administration"

This video program provides an overview of the National Cemetery Administration and the many services it provides to our nation's veterans. Through a dramatic presentation of one family's experience, this program depicts the entire burial process, covering such topics as eligibility requirements, military funeral honors, headstones and markers and the Presidential Memorial Certificate that is given to the next of kin. Numerous cemetery directors provide counterpoint to the story, describing the National Cemetery Administration's history, its efforts to expand burial capacity, its care and compassion for veterans' families and its dedication to the perpetual care and maintenance of veterans' gravesites.
