You might brush up on reading comprehension hoss. No were is it expressed in that link that the VA will install a road to an abandoned grave on private property.

Getting the VA to just provide a marker for my father, a Korean war vet with at DD-214 and much other proof of service, was a chore in itself.

Do you know how many abandoned cemeteries/graves in the south with graves of civil war vets? Probably thousands. In the north there is probably triple the number abandoned graves of Union vets and Revolutionary war vets.

He said they were required by law to do so.

"Eventually all graves go unvisited."

So cool. Buddy of mine had a family farm in lyons point. Way back in the woods between some rice fields they had some graves. Very cool.

friend of mine back in high school took me to his place north of woodville. There was a single grave way back in the woods with an old run down small iron fence around it. He told me it was some sibling or cousin(cant remember) of Boone that died while traveling through the area. Killed one the biggest does I've ever seen right next to it that morning. I've always wanted to go back and look at it again, but lost touch with him years ago.
