Fort Logan National Cemetery, Colorado. (May 25, 2025): While Arlington National Cemetery is the world’s most famous military burial ground, the majority of veterans are actually buried elsewhere. In this photo by Air Force Technical Sergeant Chance Johnson, Mikeala Plaszcz and her child visit the gravesite of her father at one of fourteen national cemeteries managed by the National Park Service.
The first national cemetery was established during the Civil War in 1861 to accommodate the horrific casualties of that bitter conflict. Troops on both sides were being killed at such a rate that on-site burials were simply not feasible. Initially, a system of twelve national cemeteries was established by an act of Congress in 1862. The act authorized the President to purchase land for the establishment of cemeteries for burial of those fighting on behalf of the United States.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
