The VA is offering a new program for Veterans not buried in national or state veterans' cemeteries, or those without a government grave marker.VA Graves Marker The new program makes available a medallion that can be affixed to existing graves, and can be used instead of a traditional government headstone. Per the VA, "The medallion is available in three sizes: 5", 3" and 1 " in width. Each bronze medallion features the image of a folded burial flag adorned with laurels and is inscribed with the word "Veteran" at the top and the branch of service at the bottom.

Next of kin will receive the medallion, along with a kit that will allow the family or the staff of a private cemetery to affix the medallion to a headstone, grave marker, mausoleum or columbarium niche cover."

Pictures Needed Of Your OCS Class

When you do a search on this site for a member of your OCS Class, you end up on a web page with a table showing the list of class members for your class, and their current status. The bottom half of most pages is blank. We want to fill it with pictures of the people in that class. If you have candid pictures of class members, especially if they were taken while you were in OCS, please send them to us. We will post them on your class' page. Be sure to give us a little background on your pictures, so that we can properly label them. If you have any good pics, take them down to your local drug store and ask them to scan them at 300 dpi to a file. Attach your file to an eMail, and send it to us at WebMaster@ArmySignalOCS.com. Be sure to tell us the Class Number, identify the people in it, and tell us a bit about the setting, date, and anything else you can remember. Both we, and your classmates, thank you.
