Many, many of those cemeteries are in sad states of repair and care with our civil representatives having ignored their plight and condition for many decades now. As you spend your Tuesday with your co-workers, family or friends, please remember your ancestors who fought for our nation. If you are able, please go to a local historic cemetery and see if the cemeteries where our veterans now rest in peace are in the kind of condition you believe they deserve. If they are not in a well maintained cemetery, take the time to call your local representative and ask that some attention be paid to the neglected cemeteries where these veterans now lie for eternity. Ask them if they would want their ancestors to rest in a place that looks so bad or if they believe the resting places of our veterans should be so disrespected. Please ask them to care, and to help us to show respect for the last "homes" of our pioneer citizens and veterans. Respectfully, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves
