BISMARCK, N.D. Raymond Voegele considers it an honor for his wife, Rose, to be buried at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1946-47 in South Korea. The couple later met in a church choir in Glen Ullin. They married in 1952. Raymond Voegele went to refrigeration school in Minneapolis, worked for a Glen Ullin hardware store for 10-12 years, then at military bases in Montana and later Utah, where the couple spent a number of years and he retired.
The 2021 Legislature extended a burial benefit for spouses and eligible dependents of military veterans to be interred at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
