Mac, You can even download the application for the grave marker on the net. There are several types of markers. They will ship it to you and you have to install it. Sometimes a local organazation such as the VFW or American Legion will get involved and have a ceramony when it is installed. I just went thru getting the info for Jerry Vernon who has a relative(Veteran of the Civil War) that is buried here in Dodge City in an unmarked grave. Larry L.
