May 26, 2021 This story has been updated to reflect the VA s new policies on cemetery visitation, which take effect May 26, 2021. About 40,000 veterans are buried among the rolling hills of Leavenworth National Cemetery in Kansas. The gravestones are spread over 128 acres, with room to spare. But even as the Department of Veterans Affairs begins to lift restrictions on masks and gatherings at the cemeteries it manages, Memorial Day ceremonies at Leavenworth will be smaller than usual. It s the second straight year that the holiday commemorations will be affected by the pandemic. At Leavenworth, Lynn Rolf Jr., a retired Army colonel, typically spends weeks helping prepare for Memorial Day. In a normal year, hundreds of Boy Scouts and their families would show up the week before Memorial Day to plant small American flags at every gravesite.
