This is a beautiful cemetery on the north side of the church. A walkway runs north-south and is bisected by another which runs east-west. At the west end is a large circle of concrete, with four tall Iambic pillars. In the concrete around the circle is embedded bronze plaques of the five branches of service: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force.
At the center of the circle is a black granite slab which reads:
"The sacrifices of the few ensure the freedom of the many. This monument is dedicated with gratitude to the men and women of the Armed Forces whose loyalty and service whether in war or in peace have defined the character of this great nation."
