Today, 8th May 2024, marks 79 years since VE Day - the end of the Second World War in Europe.

On this day of reflection, we look back to that day 79 years ago, when millions across Europe celebrated in relief and elation. We invite you to join us in remembering the millions of servicemen and women, Allied Forces and those across the world, who made great sacrifices throughout the Second World War, and the civilians who tirelessly engaged in war work and looked after the Home Front for six long years.

We will never forget their sacrifice, commitment and courage.

For our veterans....

For , one may add an Emblem of Belief (EOB) when ordering a headstone or marker for a deceased Veteran.

An emblem of belief for inscription on a government headstone or marker is an emblem or symbol that represents the sincerely held belief of the decedent that constituted a religion or the functional equivalent of religion and was believed and/or accepted as true by that individual during his or her life. The belief represented by an emblem need not be associated with or endorsed by a group or organization.

No graphics (logos, symbols, etc.) are permitted on Government-furnished headstones or markers other than the available emblems of belief, the Civil War Union Shield, the Civil War Confederate Southern Cross of Honor, and the Medal of Honor insignias.

Emblems of belief for inscription on Government headstones and markers do not include social, cultural, ethnic, civic, fraternal, trade, commercial, political, professional or military emblems. VA will not inscribe any emblem on a headstone or marker that would have an adverse impact on the dignity and solemnity of cemeteries honoring those who served the nation.

For a full list of Emblems of Belief visit our website: https://www.cem.va.gov/hmm/emblems.asp
