The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs responsible for managing national cemeteries. It provides burial services and memorials for eligible veterans, their spouses, and dependents, ensuring they receive honors for their service. The NCA oversees over 150 national cemeteries across the United States.
In addition to burial services, the NCA offers various memorial programs, including headstones, markers, and burial flags. The administration aims to preserve the memory of those who served in the military, contributing to the nation's commitment to honor and remember its veterans, including those who served in conflicts like World War II and Vietnam.
