I’ve wanted to see the National Cemetery near Fargo since it was established last year. In a year’s time quite a large number of burials have taken place. The picture shows the larger group of markers, but as I took the picture from a knoll looking southward, another smaller group of markers stood behind me. I don’t know why they were split in two locations. I wanted to see closeup the rectangular structures that stood on the south end of the cemetery, and when I walked over to them I saw they served as a mausoleum for cremation urns. The cubicles on the north side of one of them had started to fill as verified by the inscribed names of a couple dozen veterans. Said to be about five acres in size, the estimated capacity of the cemetery will be 30,000.
