Fort Snelling
Can the child of a retired Naval Non-Com be buried next to him in a national cemetery?
My father was a Chief Gunner's Mate (CGM) in the Navy and is buried at Fort Snelling National Cemetary in Minneapolis, MN. My mom is buried with him. Can I, as his daughter, be buried there too? I can't find any information on the web or I am looking in the wrong places?
Cr@p....I kind of thought so, but was hoping I was wrong. Thanks for all the info. I guess I WAS looking in the wrong place. So far, I don't fit the criteria at all but I will use the addresses and info and just maybe they have some kind of special circumstances? Well, I can hope, can't I?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no. You are looking in the wrong places. Contact the cemetery directly and they can give you a definite answer.
