Miramar National Cemetery staff will be hosting an open house. You are invited to the cemetery to interact with representatives from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and Vet Center. They will be on cemetery grounds to answer questions about VA benefits and pre-need determination of eligibility. Additionally, there will be several local Veteran Service Organizations there too!
Following the MNC Open House, guests are invited to dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony at the newly-renovated Memorial Amphitheater. The Support Foundation recently completed an upgrade that cost over $900,000 and was made possible by donations from the public. The improvements maximize the use of the amphitheater and allows for greater value and use of the land. The upgrades provide permanent seating for 500 guests attending large-scale events and funeral services, updated ADA walkways, and new environmentally-friendly landscaping to the Flag Assembly Area of the amphitheater. It was a project that took more than six years from inception to completion.
For questions about the Open House, please call (858) 658-7360 during normal business hours, or email: MNC@VA.gov.
For questions about the Amphitheater Dedication Ceremony, please email: President@miramarcemetery.org
During these events, please swing by one of the outreach tables or the admin building to receive a star from one of the American Flags that flew on our Avenue of Flags. These flags fly 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year over military veterans and their families on the hallowed grounds. Two to three times a year, the flags are decommissioned by a MNCSF volunteer when they can no longer fly.
While on cemetery grounds for the open house or dedication ceremony, please visit the Avenue of Flags, 10 memorials on the Memorial Walkway, the Veterans Tribute Tower and Carillon, POW Liberation Memorial, and the gravesite of Medal of Honor Recipient, SGT Charles Schroeter, U.S. Army.
