Not all buried here died during wars, but all honorably served their country. Many spouses of service members are also buried here.

So, I Googled "Golden Gate National Cemetery" looking for a bit more information. I was a bit surprised when I found a list of "Yelp" reviews:

1 - For a cemetery enthusiast this is a must. WOW. The vastness is insane.

2 - We discovered the cemetery by cruising around Daly City and I was AMAZED. As we got closer, I saw the sign "NATIONAL CEMETERY"..WHOA. I didnt get scared or anything, just looked and thought to myself.. thats a whole lot of people in the fields. It was beautiful, and sad.

3 - I'm yelping a cemetery? Yes, I'm yelping a cemetery, and I'm not even the first one to yelp this one. WTF.

4 - It's an awesome sight when you enter, it makes you realize that War is Hell and why the F&#K don't we ever learn. We never will believe me! I get very emotional visiting here.

CLICK for the very "best" of my work on my photo website.
