State’s Second State Veterans Cemetery

Veterans and their families and friends are invited to attend the Memorial Day formal grand opening of the Gallup State Veterans Cemetery at 1 pm, May 27 at 333 National Cemetery Drive, across the street from the McKinley County Juvenile Detention Center.

This will be the second state veterans cemetery developed by the Department of Veterans Services as part of an initiative to build veterans cemeteries in rural areas of New Mexico.

The first cemetery, the Fort Stanton State Veterans Cemetery, opened in Fall 2017.

Confirmed attendees include Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales, Mayor Jackie McKinney, Representative Patty Lundstrom, and former Department of Veterans Services Secretary Jack Fox.
