The VA has made it easier and faster for the public to get answers about
family history, old war buddies or famous war heroes. The agency has put on
the Web 3.2 million records for veterans buried at 120 national cemeteries
since the Civil War. The VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator also has records
for some state veterans cemeteries and burials in Arlington National
Cemetery since 1999 (http://www.cem.va.gov/). The navigator includes names,
dates of birth and death, military service dates, service branch and rank if
known, cemetery information and grave location in the cemetery. The VA will
withhold some information, such as next of kin, for privacy purposes.
