Desert Memorial Park is a beautiful, well-maintained cemetery with several monuments throughout the cemetery.
This monument is beside the Veterans Chapel which has a large 'plaque' in front of it that merely reads: 'Dedicated to the men and women who made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of their country'.
This are several famous people buried here including Frank Sinatra (

If I had to do it all over
Had to face it once again
I wouldn't change a moment
And I'd do it with these men
Dedicated May 23, 1999
