Historic cemetery [Whiskeytown CA]…read more While revisiting the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area we noticed this small cemetery that we hadn't notice last time we were here. This is a historical cemetery that had been, unfortunately, devastated by the Carr Fire in the July 2018 Northern California wildfire. The original signage, the wooden crosses and older fencing have been burned. The signage has been replaced by an aluminum metal sign erected by a sturdy wood. There is also a wooden sign attached to the metal gate with a hand carved "Whiskeytown Cemetery" on 2x4's. The park used to give tours to the cemetery from July to September Sunday evenings and learned about individuals and families who settled here during the Gold Rush. I'm not sure if they still offered this tour. The Whiskeytown day use pass is not required to visit Whiskeytown Cemetery. We drove past the Visitor Center about a mile and a half and made a left on Paige Bar Road and drove for another mile and a half... Whiskeytown Cemetery is located on the left. Review #3456

We sat down with Jen and went through the types of services that were offered. My brother was cremated and then laid to rest in the eye go veterans cemetery in I go California. The arrangements have included a processional, an honor guard, a 21 gun salute, A ceremonial flag, and my brothers ashes in a rosewood box. I had not received confirmation on the processional, the honor guard, or the 21 gun salute but proceeded to attend the service in Anderson California: which is 7 1/2 hour drive from my home in Washington. My two sisters and my brother along with their families friends and acquaintances all arrived to the chapel at the 2 o'clock time frame. Upon arrival we were quickly ushered to our seats and told to hurry up and get the stuff set out because people were waiting. The honor guard was standing at attention(As they should) and I was in the midst of setting out my brothers flowers when we were told we had to get started so we left things incomplete and sat in our designated areas waiting for the flag to be folded and presented. It was at this time I realized that the 21 gun salute had not been provided. My family was deeply saddened as they were looking forward to celebrating my brothers life and his final resting place with a 21 gun salute. Many thanks to our escorts for my brothers remains to the veterans cemetery even though we ran one hour late, and many thanks to the honor guard even though we did not receive the 21 gun salute, many thanks to I go services personnel for explaining step by step the process of the services. I have contacted Allen&Dahl and spoke with Jen who is trying to work out some thing. We're hoping in the event that my Brothers headstone is placed, there might be a 21 gun salute at his graveside to acknowledge his service. This was an unfortunate turn of events.

We will always remember them. Veterans who Served not because the Veteran hated what was in front of 'em, but because the Veteran loved what was behind 'em. This visit we walked to James E. Swett's headstone. He graduated from San Mateo High School, San Mateo, California, and enrolled at the College of San Mateo in 1939. He earned a private pilot's license, then enlisted in US Naval Reserve as a Seaman Second Class 26 August 1941, and started Flight training in September. Swett went on to be a US Marine Corps' fighter pilot, flying ace and recipient of Medal of Honor, Distinguished Flying Cross twice, Purple Heart, and Air Medal five times. He retired as a Colonel after 29 years of military Service. We remembered that family holds children's hands for a while and their hearts forever while we then walked to the gravesites of three GIs killed-in-action: Corporal Preston Dennis, US Army, married, age 21 Petty Officer 1st Class Chad Regelin, US Navy, 2011 USO Sailor of The Year, age 24 1st Lieutenant Sean Jacobs, US Army, US Military Academy aka West Point graduate, age 23 We finished up at the headstones of Iwo Jima Sergeant Raymond Jacobs, US Marine Corps; and Andeasen Reinholdt, US Army 11th Cavalry Regiment Black Horse Calvary, the last Army regiment to go from horse to armor. My latest visit to here again reminds me that death ends a life, not a relationship. There are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of individuals such as the Veterans here. Veterans that appreciated that what can be imagined can be achieved, that you must dare to dream, there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work and teamwork because no one gets there alone; and that, while we commemorate the... the greatness of events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot and should not forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible. Here is Hallowed and Sacred ground. That means never is yelling done here and no playing or games are to be played here. That includes pokeman players. All formally dressed, shoes shined, we were here to solemnly, humbly and reverently pay our respects to our fellow Veterans here. Just as we had told our children when they were young, we told children here with us today that here are Veterans who gave their today for our tomorrows. We taught the children to walk not run nor play in any Veterans cemetery. We taught them to talk low and not shout. Then we taught them to stand still for a moment in silence here, ending the moment of silence with a slow salute. There's beauty here although among it is a terrifying story that war's never a nice place to visit, and no one wants to live there. As we walked this well-maintained Veterans cemetery, tears came as I again remember the words of General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., US Army (Ret.), that "the more we sweat in Peace, the less we bleed in war." Those words should be and always must be the war standard that we hold every politician to. For "The military don't start wars. Politicians start war." correctly said General William Westmoreland, US Army (Ret.). That's why I support that all elected or appointed politicians who aren't currently Serving or haven't Served in US Armed Forces, are required to spend the first six weeks of each of their terms in front line combat zone military hospital unit. In 1946, just after end of World War II, Ernest Hemingway, himself a victim with PTSD from being a World War I ambulance driver, wrote, "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." That's why I also support a military draft for all with no exemptions so those who previously never Served would understand the true and full costs of military Service. The Northern California Veterans Cemetery (NCVC) is the first California Veterans Cemetery constructed with the cooperation of the US Department of Veterans Affairs "VA", and is operated by the State of California. State Veterans Cemeteries are intended to serve areas that are not adequately served by a VA National Cemetery. It was dedicated 11 November 2005. Cemetery grounds are open every day from sunrise to sunset.

Like most people I had only one sort of perception about lawyers. Especially private lawyers, but this law firm blew my socks off. I think it's also important to note that the people here our locals.
