It overlooks an ocean bluff, and the dirt is burnt orange. People who worked in the sugar plantations are buried here. In the front, you will see the graves of people from Asian descent. Behind them are buried the people from Latin backgrounds. The gravestones are covered in lichen. On some you can make out the names of people who were placed here over a century ago. On others, the names are worn off. This is an incredibly beautiful and sacred space. I recommend that the next time you come to Glass Beach to search for bits of beach glass in the shore, you take a quick stroll up here and feel what this is like.

Such freedoms are today sadly under attack by a plethora of "enemies both foreign and domestic " (if you recognize the quote then you understand). Peaceful, contemplative. The only state veterans cemetery on the island of Kaua'i. Available trash bins and water spigots. The size is a fraction of the Punchbowl and yet serves as a reminder that even in the farthest islands you can find evidence of selfless sacrifice and service. Several 442 vets buried here as well as many WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War vets. Mahalo for reading my review. In requiscat pacem.

It would have been way more comfortable if there were standing or overhead ceiling fans but fortunately the family planned well and had ice chests filled with 8 oz sized water bottles for the friends, family, acquainces attending. The area that was used was clean. There are restrooms behind the one wall. Enter by going around the building on your left if not you will have to climb or limbo like me between the piped barrier. Roosters and chickens shared the space without any commotions. I did see a man pseudo bathing , shooting the water hose up his board shorts. He remained by the tree and his bike til he air dried. Although the area was open on 3 sides there were no trades and people used their program as fans. There was enough room to set up tables for the food, punch and hot beverages. The food was catered and there was a sound system for the guitar player, the looped video and the speakers. This Veterans Cemetary is in Hanapepe. My in- laws and some of their friends and relatives that served are at rest here. It's in a residential area and like most places on Kauai there are roosters and chickens here too. There aren't many visitors whenever we come, not even grounds people but it is well maintained. There are restrooms located in the back of the one building.

So we drove an hour and a half, showed up around 12:10 as we hit a lot of traffic, and were told she didn't have time and that 'I thought you were coming by yesterday at noon'. Seemed annoyed that we were there, irritated that we interrupted her. I wish she had simply said, no. We would have understood. We will find a lovely beach on this side and extinct this unpleasantness as soon as possible.
