Our Veterans

The Blairsville Cemetery has a time-honored heritage of recognizing veterans in fighting for the nation’s beliefs and values during times of war. Today, the Blairsville Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 4,500 veterans and heroes dating back to the Revolutionary War and up until the current Iraqi/Afghanistan conflicts. 

On three major holidays each year, the Cemetery honors its veterans.  On these occasions, The VFW & The American Legion – in cooperation with the Cemetery staff and friends – hoists more than 800 full size flags, an increase from 700. These flags are displayed on the great lawn on both sides of the main entrance.
