6805 Fruitridge Blvd. and St. Mary's cemetery on the N/S st.
There is a dedication at the flagpole. A lone piece of stationary artillery. Most of these burials occurred before the opening of Sacramento Valley NC and San Joaquin Valley NC. They show upheaval of markers. It is not as it should be.
I found a single marker that showed an Army Vietnam Veteran, Roy D. Chandler who received a Bronze Star.
It is not specific to any one branch of service.
