Oak Grove Cemetery is honored to be the final resting place for more than six hundred veterans. The veterans buried here served in many branches of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard and served in various locations, wars and conflicts around the world. Fourteen of these veterans served our country in more than one war:
* Revolutionary War (1)
* Civil War (72)
* War of 1812 (4)
* Spanish American War (6)
* World War I (124)
* World War II (265)
* Korean Conflict (82)
* Vietnam War (40)
* Gulf War (4)
* Pacific Theater (33)

Oak Grove recognizes that each veteran played an important part in our country’s history, and it is part of our mission to preserve and honor their contributions. In addition to keeping the records about the details of their service, we would also like to preserve the stories which are often lost over time. If you would like to contribute a story relating to a veteran’s military service, please contact us to share. Photos to accompany the stories are also welcome.

Their Stories

Mr. Lou Armstrong, mayor of Freedom, is actively seeking volunteers to help meet the needs of veterans interred at Oak Grove Cemetery, including the placement of American flags prior to Memorial Day. Mr. Armstrong is also the de facto Freedom American Legion representative, which is no longer active and has, in the past, been responsible for the flag placement.

If you are willing to volunteer, please contact Mr. Armstrong at 724-630-0660.
