Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by PeterO: [B]Robert is correct. The wording "In Memory Of" on the marker means it's a memorial marker, not a grave site. Schirra's marker is the standard grave/memorial marker that every veteran is eligible for. From the [URL=http://www.cem.va.gov/hm_hm.asp]Veteran's Administration website[/URL]: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Memorial Headstones and Markers Memorial headstones and markers, for individuals or groups, are furnished for eligible deceased active duty service members and Veterans whose remains are not recovered or identified, are buried at sea, donated to science or whose cremated remains have been scattered. Memorial headstones and markers may also be furnished in national, military post/base or state Veterans cemeteries to eligible spouses whose remains are unavailable for interment, whether or not they predecease the eligible Veteran. These headstones and markers bear an "In Memory of" inscription, as their first line and must be placed in a recognized cemetery.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
