yeow, larry, if the cemetery get's.........uppity about it they can make you pay to have it installed.........haven't ever seen one of 'em do that, though. 'course i live in and did my va ombudsman's work in texas so, i s'pose this could make a difference.......sure hope not. the Iowa i knew would certainly not put up with something like that. Anyway, for those of you who are interested or know of a veterans burial place that needs a stone (or even if you don't and just want to memorialize one) your poc up there is one samantha schaff......she's something like an iowa veterans affairs outreach coordinator or something like that and, i believe, sit's in the leon community center, at least once a week. her ph# is 641 446 8208 and her edress is decctwa@grm.net ............................mac ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry McElwee" <mcelwee1942@cox.net> To: <iadecatu@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 8:29 PM Subject: Re: [IADECATU] LILLIE CEMETERY.. > Mac, You can even download the application for the grave marker on the > net. > There are several types of markers.
