Veterans of the
Milford Center Cemetery
The Milford Center
Cemetery is the final resting place for many
Veterans. We seek to honor these veterans
by making sure that each Veteran's service is recognized
through the placing of an American Flag on their
grave. If you are aware of a Veteran's grave
that is not marked with a flag please
contact
Stephen Fournier and we will make sure
that a flag is placed on the grave site
Among
the many Veterans interred in our cemetery there
are at least 78 veterans that have served our
nation during war time. We have veterans
for the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil
War, Spanish America War, World War I,
World War II, Korean War, and the Vietnam
War. We have two veterans who were killed
in action, and two from the Civil War who died
of disease. We have a veteran who served
in both WWI and WWII. Also a veteran who
served in WWII and the Korean War.
